Have to agree with what everyone else has said.
The movie was awful! Really bad. His latest t.v.show Ali is da US, is better...but it's not great.

For me, the real Ali G moments, we always be his weekly appearance on The Eleven O Clock Show. He was without a doubt, the best part of that show! He would always do a piss-take interview. That was what he was great at!
Try and get a copy of the video, "Ali G, Innit", which compiles all of his Eleven O Clock Show sketches. Absolutely brilliant!

Then Ali G got his own show, so he had to stretch his five minute sketch into a half hour show. Quite hit and miss in my opinion. The problem was, that he could no longer rely on the fake interviews....everyone knew who he was! So he made up Borät...a foreigner from Kazakstan (sp!?) doing a "Borät in Great Britain" tv show. This was brilliant. The rest of the show was hit and miss comedy sketches and the like.

Then...the film...oh god. Lets not even talk about this....

Then he decided to try and have a crack at America. So he made his "Ali G. in Da US" show (I'm not sure what it is called over there). This time he was able to go back to his original "fake interviews" with his Ali G character, like in The Eleven o'Clock Show. I was hoping that this would mark a return to form. Sadly not! He seems to have lost all of his sharp wit over the last years, and the interviews all seem so forced, and often quite unfunny. His new character, the Austrian gay guy..(can't remember name) is reasonably amusing, but nothing great.

Bah! Ali G, used to rule....then he got too big for his boots!
