Good movie but grossly overrated

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

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.

This guy is brilliant. The show is absolutely hysterical and keeps your attention the entire time. I have seen a variety of TV shows that were ahead of it's time and this is one of them. I wouldn't doubt it if HBO kept this around for another few years before dumping it. Shows such as, "Mr. Show," and "The Ben Stiller Show," were just too much for TV in its era. The Ali G Show is the same, it's ahead of it's time. It takes total normality, throws in politics and to top it all of, adds a twisted sense of wannabe urban culture. Ali G is an original idea that is making it in the underground culture so far and hopefully spreading to mainstream society. The only problem I see is that it may be too much for standard America to handle. Some uptights might get offended seeing a guy sporting a yellow jumpsuit interviewing Newt Gingrich and obviously making him look like a fool. But who cares, it's entertainment, take it for the value or just plain laughter. And always remember, "It's not T.V., it's HBO."

Ali is the best personality on television. I live in America and only found out about him from a friend but once I saw him I couldn't stop laughing. This guy is hilarious and would take America by storm if his show ever aired here. I recommend that everyone watches this guy at least once and I'll guarantee that you'll be coming for more.

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.
