Moustroll Good movie but grossly overrated

Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

grantss Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen appears as Ali G, a rapper-wannabe from Staines. Ali G has his own TV show, where he interviews people on serious subjects. They're not aware that Ali G is just a character and they're being set up as part of a comedy act. Cohen also appears in two other guises: as Borat, a Kazakhstani reporter, and Bruno, a gay Austrian fashionista. Hilarity ensues.Brilliant comedy. Sure, the idea of a luring in people to have a serious conversation and then confronting them with someone who is clearly not on their wavelength, and who is actually making a comedy show, is not new. Think Alan Partridge or Norman Gunston. Yet here the sheer ballsiness of the ideas and delivery, the backstory and one-liners, plus the fact that it involves three different faux presenters/reporters/characters takes the concept to a new level.So good each of the characters got their own movie.

cynthialev4 Da Ali G Show may not have been the first place where real people have been put in uncomfortable situations for the sake of entertaining an audience, but it is definitely the most thought provoking, edgy, and hilarious incarnation of the format for our time. The list of Sascha Baron Cohen's unfortunate interviewees is unbelievable, a survey of controversial figures from the worlds of politics, fashion, and caricatures of everyday types. And he milks each one for what we all really want to hear them say. The personas of Ali G, Borat, and Bruno are all brilliantly developed and right in the pocket of what is just barely believable to the subjects in the moment, and entirely ridiculous in the hindsight of the program. My favorite moments are when you can tell that Cohen himself can hardly believe what is coming out of the mouths of his subjects. It is a great reminder to be careful not to believe everything you encounter in the world, and to take a good moment to think before speaking- especially when you're being recorded.

famousgir1 Sacha Baron Cohen aka Ali G is just absolutely brilliant and this video/dvd of his award-winning show is absolutely hilarious. Da Ali G Show is definitely one to be owned by everyone. Since, Ali G, first came on to our screen, he was destined to be a comedy classic and of course he is. Ali G is the best and I give his fantastic show, Da Ali G Show, a well deserving 20/20.

jmar389070 Ali G has to be the best talkshow host ever as he is not afraid of what he says. He interviews people with a sense of some seriousness but mainly getting laughs from the audience and his guests. M favourite episode is when he interviewed mohamed al fayed the owner of Harrods. He managed to get a 75 year old up and dancing and rapping with him. This show is definately worth watching**********out of **********
