Ali G Indahouse
Like crack whores and Hummers, Ali G is an acquired taste, and not one
that’s likely to win many converts with this, the British comic’s
feature film debut. Americans have been privy to Ali G’s wiggacized
antics only through his Da Ali G Show, which was picked up for
stateside broadcast by HBO last season. That program, the brainchild of
Ali G’s real-world alter ego Sacha Baron Cohen, was a cunning mix of
sly mockery aimed at white suburban males striving.
unsuccessfully,
to be black, urban B-boys, and featured Ali G interviewing various
world politicos (Buzz Aldrin, Brent Scowcroft, and former U.N.
Secretary-General Boutros Boutros-Ghali among others), all of whom were
utterly clueless to the gag, to genius effect. Clad in his trademark
yellow track suit, the equally clueless Ali would lob them inane
question cloaked in a UK ghetto patois so thick it’s little wonder no
one had any idea what was going on.
Ali G Indahouse takes
Cohen’s character to the next obvious level, and loses quite a bit in
the lack of translation. It’s not just that the film, with its dopey
asides about the laborious British parliamentary system and references
to everything from Bristol’s notorious clubs ’n’ guns problems to the
peculiarities of British urban fashion, plays like a truly awful
version of Intro to Brit-hop 101
