Respectpa! Ali G is one of Sacha Baron Cohen great creations. Martin Freeman co-stars as one of his possy. Brought up in east Staines Ali longs to be of black descent, but unfortunately isn't. Ali is a proud member of the John Nike leisure centre and when it is threatened to be closed down he says he will do anything to help.
This is possibly the funniest film I have ever seen, with hilarious language and some more than strange nude scenes. . Yes, it is sexist, crude and insome parts racist, but this is what makes it so appealing to comedy lovers.This film has a fantastic plot and is not as predictable as some other films of its genre.
This film has a certificate of 15 for a reason but for anyone, and I mean anyone above that will thoroughly enjoy it. Comedy lovers and even usual thriller audiences will com e to love this film.
For those who do not mind the occasional acts of sexism and racism, and can take it in a comical way, I encourage you to buy this film!! It has been around for a while so a bargain is just around the corner.
