Comedian Sacha Baron Cohen appears as Ali G, a rapper-wannabe from Staines. Ali G has his own TV show, where he interviews people on serious subjects. They're not aware that Ali G is just a character and they're being set up as part of a comedy act. Cohen also appears in two other guises: as Borat, a Kazakhstani reporter, and Bruno, a gay Austrian fashionista. Hilarity ensues.
Brilliant comedy. Sure, the idea of a luring in people to have a serious conversation and then confronting them with someone who is clearly not on their wavelength, and who is actually making a comedy show, is not new. Think Alan Partridge or Norman Gunston. Yet here the sheer ballsiness of the ideas and delivery, the backstory and one-liners, plus the fact that it involves three different faux presenters/reporters/characters takes the concept to a new level.
So good each of the characters got their own movie.
