Mark Adams The Hollywood Reporter Apr 24, 2002
A raw comedy that is intermittently hilarious as it attacks pretty much every taboo around. Go to Full Review

While some of it falls flat, the comedic approach does have a few brighter moments of slapstick fun. Go to Full Review

2/5
A tendency to steer all humour towards the toilet and to just keep flushing means this will only appeal to the most forgiving fans of Ali G. Go to Full Review

Pre-Borat, a raunchy spoof of a hip-hop pretender. Go to Full Review

Kelly B @RT79306824 19 hrs ago This shows how drastically our humor and society has gone to ish in the past 20 years. Funny and nostalgic See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch 2 days ago Ali G Indahouse: The Movie has a few funny moments, but the humor wears thin and the film feels like one long joke. It leans on offensive material, part of Sacha Baron Cohen’s style, but that does not make every gag land. Much of the comedy seems designed to provoke rather than entertain. The jokes keep pushing further without giving the audience much reason to find them worthwhile. Some moments are so crude that they stop being funny and become frustrating. The film expects viewers to accept everything because it is outrageous, but that approach gets old quickly. The humor comes across as lazy rather than daring. By the end, Ali G Indahouse is more exhausting than entertaining. Cohen commits to the character, but the attempts to shock overshadow the comedy. I understand the point is to offend and provoke, yet that does not make the material funny. There are a few laughs, but not enough to save the experience. For me, this is an offensive film that is not worth watching. See more J B @RT25169250 Oct 24, 2026 A classic british comedy!! See more MC R @RT91491190 Aug 25, 2026 To be honest, I never seen this movie before. But there is talk about a new movie and I saw today even a trailer is dropped. So I though let's give it a chance. I know it's weird because I usually love Sascha Baron Cohen, especially Borat but also The Dictator. Let's not forget he debuted in the MCU as Mephisto. I hope he will return as Mephisto in Ghost Rider and other stuff. The reason I didn't watch it before was I always though his Ali G character was making fun of the HipHop culture. Not that I'm offended but still. I love the HipHop culture, so thats that! But today I give it a chance. It has some fun moments, but also not my kind of humor. Ali G is not my favorite character of Cohen. Love Borat more! Loved that Borat made an entree in the movie. That was fun! Loved to see Martin Freeman also in the movie. See more thiago S @Thiagostone May 22, 2026 Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Shaun R @Shaun666 Jun 11, 2025 Very funny, but I can’t help but think the film would’ve been better in documentary style, much like Borat and Bruno. Still, it’s ridiculous enough to keep Ali G fans happy. See more Read all reviews
