The first film to come out of Da Ali G show (and the only one not to feature the show's put-real-people-in-awkward-situations antics), Indahouse is just a mediocre comedy by any standard. There are as many hits here as there are misses, though a couple of the better bits raise it to the level of slightly above average.

I'm a fan of the show, but this is just awful. First 20 minutes are OK, after that it gets pretty bad.

Made me laugh. A lot. And thats good.

I do not understand why Cohen would make a scripted movie when every bit of humor from the original show was the actuality.

Grose and unfunny

Nowhere near as sharp as the TV show.

Loved Borat. Thought Bruno was pretty funny too. So when I found out that Sacha had made a movie for his Ali G character, I thought it would be like the other movies. This movie is not - Bruno and Borat are films where Sacha enrolls unknowing people to "reveal themselves" on film, exposing truths and hypocrisies of the Western world. This film was just over-the-top acting and stupidity. I am embarrassed that I watched this film.

Perhaps spreads the concept a bit thin and moves it out of its usual off-the-cuff comfort zone, but fuck it, it made me laugh.

Cohen's Ali G characters are at their best in real situations. In scripted scenarios, the genuine humor from the reactions of the unaware are lost and with those reactions missing, you're left with uninteresting stereotypes interacting with uninteresting characters. Stick with the original UK TV series.
