Plot

Ali G is the leader of Da West Staines Massiv, a fictional gang composed of a group of wannabe gangstas from Staines (a small, affluent, suburban town to the west of London); their chief rivals are Da East Staines Massiv. After he goes on a hunger strike and is spotted chained to some railings by the nefarious Deputy Prime minister David Carlton (played by Charles Dance), he is drawn into a world of seedy political intrigue, as the Chancellor tries to use Ali as a tool to destroy the Prime Minister's credibility.
However Ali G's bizarre behaviour and solutions seem to actually work such as making more "relateable" education and ensuring the control of physically fit women into England. Ali G becomes incredibly popular meeting the Prime Minister's intentions and bringing his percentage up 22 percent.
This film features Baron Cohen's other character Borat in a meeting with Ali G, where a double was used for different shots.

Ratings

In the UK, the film was rated 15 by the BBFC for its drug use and sexual themes, although the film contains no real graphic sexual content.

Reception

The film opened to mixed reviews from critics and fans. While some hailed it as a successful low culture comedy[1], it inspired little of the strong fan enthusiasm associated with Da Ali G Show on HBO[2] and with Baron Cohen's subsequent film, ''[3]. This difference may be a result of the film's wholly fictional scripted plot, which omits one of the most popular staples of the television program—Ali G's real-life unscripted confrontations with unwitting foils.
A few fans of Da Ali G Show were disappointed with the movie due to its large content of sex, drug, and gangsta humor throughout the film.
