ali g

okay, so i just watched "Ali G In Da House." it is quite possibly the dumbest movie i've ever seen. so i gotta ask, especially to the our UK tfp members, is this guy for real? i mean, is he actually popular? even as a parody, he seems beyond stupid. how the hell did he get a movie?

<sigh>

that film was terrible.

however, his TV series is responsible for some of the funniest moments i´ve ever seen.
he took the absolute mickey out of everything in the establishment...

yes, he is very popular.
yes the film was pathetic, well below par, and probably not entirely his fault.

the film seemed to dumb down all of his comic style, as if it were a drawing smudged to cater for all markets.

but, if thats the case, then where was his backbone hiding?

i loved his tv show, but i walked out the cinema towards the end of that cinematic waste of money.

yes, horrible movie, but its hilarious when your drunk off your ass. he does seem to be popular among the Brits. His clip from the porn festival is hilarious.

Haven't seen the movie, but I loved the series. He is probably funny, but I guess it is "British" humour you'll have to understand.

British humour never exports very well to America :-(

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!

I love Ali G as far as his tv show goes. Haven't seen this movie yet. I liked Tom Green also, until he made a movie.

Haha, the TV Show is great, the movie isn't that bad, I mean there are much worse things coming out, like any new American Teen Movie... If I were to buy the movie on DVD it'd only be for the scene where they breakdance to get through the lasers, brilliant stuff!

I loved his shows on HBO but that movie wasn't too good. It had a few funny moments but it was no worse than any of the plethora of SNL five minute skits turned into 88 minute movies.

I agree, the movie was horrible and not representative of the UK or US shows at all. I think Bruno and Borat are much funnier though.

I really liked the movie.. it was filled with such stupid mindless humour... the show is great too, or at least the clips from it that I've seen.

How do you take an interview show and make it into a movie. I think that was the biggest problem facing the G team. Loved the show beyond words, it gets funnier and funnier everytime I see it. I have to admit I found the movie amusing as well.

I haven't seen the movie, but I love his show! CSFlim is right. His interviews were the greatest part. He has no shame and acts in the most inappropriate ways which make him hilarious. For a while I had no idea that he played all of the characters on his show. He's a great great man.
