Title ::: Ali G Indahouse
Movie Review by Jason O'Callaghan
Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Stephen Boswell, Kellie Bright, Michael Gambon, Charles Dance
Directed by: Mark Mylod

The film is based on the TV character played by Cohen, who holds his own during the short film alongside established Shakespearean actors such as Charles Dance and Michael Gambon, who play the roles of the Deputy Prime Minister and Prime Minister respectively.

With a storyline thrown together in the same matter of time it would have taken Ali G to smoke a joint with his homeboys the film still had the majority of the Dublin audience falling off their chairs with laughter.

However, other members of the audience left early and found the whole experience as bad as taking sour medicine from a rusty spoon.

Those (who were in the minority) felt like Ali G has had his day and should have just rode off into the sunset with 'his Julie' and taken some dignity with him instead of milking the character to near death like he has.

Others just saw it as it was: as a thoughtless, mindless, 88 minutes of fun with no serious matter what so ever... A film suitable for those lacking in the brain department, those who have smoked to much dope or those who just simply like silly childish movies.

The story tells of Ali's quest to save his local community center, which the Government is trying to close down. In this quest he is asked to stand for Parliament by the Deputy Prime Minister in order to ruin the career of the Prime Minister.

Of course this is all without Ali's knowledge. Surprise, surprise, he wins his seat and goes to Westminster where he takes over as a Minister and does all the silly things a man like Ali G would do if in power.

Need we say more? Apart from we don't think even Ali G would ever dream about making a sequel. Or would he?

Verdict: (2 stars out of 5)
