What did critics think of Sacha Baron Cohen’s new Ali G movie?

Todd Gilchrist from The Wrap shared his opinion on the film and stated, “Whether he’s considered repugnant or delightful, Sacha Baron Cohen has always elicited a strong reaction. ‘Ali G: Who Iz I?’ does not. After a quarter of a century pushing boundaries, that makes this his most offensive project yet.”
Barry Hertz of the Globe and Mail reflected on Sacha Baron Cohen’s character and the film, commenting, “Sacha Baron Cohen’s Ali G: Who Iz I? represents a deeply depressing full-circle moment for an artist who was once one of modern comedy’s sharpest satirists.”
Nick Schager from The Daily Beast wrote, “Despite its inherent limitations and more than a handful of easy-target gags, it’s always mildly amusing—and, on a couple of memorable occasions, legitimately laugh-out-loud funny.”
