Title: Missing its fundamental ingredient
Review: The Bottom Line:The reason Sasha Baron Cohen is funny is because of the fact that he's springing his outrageous personas on real people, so I have no idea why the creators of Ali G Indahouse thought they should change the nature of Cohen's comedy by putting his Ali G character through a series of very scripted and largely unfunny motions that take him away from his strong suit; the problem would be rectified in Borat and Bruno, but this film (which tellingly wasn't given a theatrical release in the U.S.) falls flat on its face.2/4
