Ali G: Who Iz I?
After twenty years spent "chillin', tokin' and bonin'", Ali G is shocked to discover that his long-term girlfriend, Julie, is 8 months pregnant. Faced with an extra mouth to feed, he gets off his batty and heads to America to reclaim his former glory… but soon encounters adversaries who will ultimately threaten his and his child's very existence.

What people are saying
Updated nightlyThe long-delayed Ali G comeback mostly lands with a thud, with many finding the character's shtick painfully outdated. Sacha Baron Cohen's performance is the central talking point, but the consensus is that it can't salvage a thin story about the character heading to America to provide for his pregnant girlfriend. While some appreciated the scattergun humor and a few cameos, like A$AP Rocky and Rihanna, the reaction is overwhelmingly split between shrugs and active dislike for the whole premise.
