Sacha Baren Cohen has created a masterpiece that will be loved by audiences all across the globe! The film has some great one liners that will keep you laughing until it hurts. I have the film on DVD and have watched it at least 10 times, and it never seems to get old! It is quite cringe-worthy in some places but that's what makes ALI G so lovable and this film so brilliant. This is outlined in how it grossed over 10 times its budget and the music in this movie is just brilliant too! This, along with Borat are Sacha's best works and he deserves all the credit that comes his way. The girls aren't have bad in the movie and the films all round display should be admired!

'Ali G Indahouse' works primarily due to Sacha Baron Cohen's Terrific Performance. The actor is truly hilarious in here, as he manages to pull-off the non-sense stuff with great style. 'Ali G Indahouse' Synopsis: Ali G unwittingly becomes a pawn in the evil Chancellor's plot to overthrow the Prime Minister of Great Britain.'Ali G Indahouse' is funny in parts, not in totality. Some jokes & gags, especially in the first-hour, are excellent & bring the house down. But, in the second-hour, the writing material loosens & doesn't quite register an impact. Sacha Baron Cohen & Dan Mazer's Screenplay works in parts, while Mark Mylod's Direction is fair.Sacha Baron Cohen's performance as Alistair "Ali G" Graham, is terrific & deserves special mention. The talented actor who delivered fantastic performances in films like 'Borat' & 'Brüno', proves his mettle yet again. Here's an actor who deserves a massive fan-following, due to his sheer talent. I would love to see more of him. Another performance that I truly liked in here, was by Martin Freeman, who scores as Ali G's best friend. On the whole, 'Ali G Indahouse' is a fair comedy. Watch it for Sacha Baron Cohen!

The hip-hop, white-gangster wannabe only known as Ali G (Sacha Baron Cohen) to his friends (Martin Freeman & Tony Way), his girlfriend (Kellie Bright) and his relative Nan (Barbara New). When the evil chancellor (Charles Dance) and his assistant (Rhona Mitra) wants to overthrow the Prime Minister of Great Britian (Michael Gambon). Ali G unlikely chosen by the chancellor to make the Prime Minister to look foolish and lose his credibility. But instead, Ali G is a success with the politicians and the media. Ali G is actually more clever and smart, despite what the chancellor thinks of him. Ali G finds himself being embraced by the nation as the voice of the youth and keeping things real. Now the chancellor has to find ways to destroy Ali G credibility as well.Directed by Mark Mylod made an amusing, extremely silly comedy with some sharp satire. It is fun to watch Cohen gives his character Ali G his 110 percent. Although it was only released in Grant Britian back in March 2002. The movie was finally released on DVD in North America in late 2004. Since Cohen is extremely well known for his sketch comedy in the U.K. and the U.S. in "Da Ali G Show".DVD has an good anamorphic Widescreen (1.85:1) transfer and an fine Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Sound. The DVD has an amusing running commentary by Cohen, Freeman and Way but in the commentary track, the actors are doing their characters watching the movie. DVD also includes Deleted Scenes, Two Featurettes, Photo Gallery and Trailers. "Ali G Indahouse" is a good, crazy, sometimes wildly uneven comedy. Die-Hard fans of Cohen will enjoy this more than others. Besides, it is fun to watch Gambon and Dance in this absurd movie. Written by Cohen and Dan Mazer (Borat:Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, Bruno). (*** ½/*****).

Ali G Indahouse is a fantastic film that makes me laugh every-time I see it, the way that Sacha Baron Cohen can create characters that really stereotype what he is attacking and still be funny is one of his greatest aspects, and in the film he perfectly portrays a London chav.The film has so many funny moments that it would impossible to mention them all and so as not to ruin it for potential viewers I'm not going to mention any, but nearly every line is packed with some sort of witticism and yet still teach the audience about restecp.The only downside of the film is that I just found some of the support acting (other than Cohen who plays Ali G) to be too over the top for example Charles Dance as the evil MP was just too exaggerated to be as funny as he could have been, but this is just a minor let down on a fantastic film that I have watched several times and will watch several times more over the years, it gives a great sense of what can be achieved by British filmmakers if they have confidence in their own ability.8/10
