Ali G is white, but he talks and behaves like an African American indeed. This movie spin-off begins with Ali dreaming about life in the Hood in L.A. Actually, he lives in Staines, west of London, and hangs out with his home boys and his girlfriend, Me Julie, Kellie Bright. The story, such as it is, has Ali recruited by the ruling political party to stand as an MP, ostensibly to save his local community centre. But he\'s really being used by the duplicitous MP David Carlton, Charles Dance, who sees an opportunity to unseat the Prime Minister, Michael Gambon. All this is just an excuse for some exceedingly rude jokes mostly about bodily functions and sexual aberrations. Usually I resist this kind of thing, but I found myself laughing at Ali G and his adventures. It\'s SO silly and SO outrageous that somehow it is funny. I especially liked the emergency Summit Conference held in London to bring two warring African countries together; double entendres and scatological humour reach their climax here. I think Groucho Marx might have responded positively to Ali G\'s sense of anarchy and confrontational anti Establishment humour.
It\'s so silly and outrageous, yet it is funny.
