Just watched this as well, and it was god awful. Its just a really really annoying movie. The TV show is fantastic however. Its so odd how off the mark this movie is when its from the exact same guy who did the show. And I agree it should have been a Borat movie, because Borat is a god.
Well, he didn't have unsuspecting people to play off of. Cohen seems to work 10,000x better when he has to rely on his wits and think on the fly than when everything is scripted.
Remember when the Jerky Boys were popular, and they went and made a movie? It tanked. You can't take an improv act and drop it into a totally different context like that. It never works. The Jerky Boys are different from Ali G however, because they sucked to begin with.
This movie is serious pain. Can't say I didn't warn ya.

Sure, its shit, especially considering how great his show is. but still, it has its moments.
I refer to the police as the LAPD now.
Any fan of Ali G should check out the book, The Gospel According to Ali G, if you haven't already. Hillarious stuff.
i think its a certain percentage above cost.Quote:
