‘Ali G: Who Iz I?’ Review: Sacha Baron Cohen’s Schtick Is Old in Unfunny, Unsurprising New Film
The comedian revives his 2000s character for more shock jokes, but the bit doesn't really work anymore The post ‘Ali G: Who Iz I?’ Review: Sacha Baron Cohen’s Schtick Is Old in Unfunny, Unsurprising New Film appeared first on TheWrap .
Sacha Baron Cohen's latest film, "Ali G: Who Iz I?", is a return to the character he first introduced in the early 2000s, but it fails to deliver the same level of humor and impact as his earlier work. The film follows Ali G, a character known for imitating Black British hip-hop culture, as he tries to adapt to a radically changed culture and society.
Cohen attempts to address the fact that his character is now too well-known to navigate public spaces easily, but the movie ultimately falls short of the mark due to a lack of relevant humor and shock value.
