## Summary

Twenty-two years after *Da Ali G Show* ended, Sacha Baron Cohen returns to the character in *Ali G: Who Iz I?*, which follows Ali’s attempts to revive his fame as he prepares to become a father. The review argues that the film’s mix of a scripted comeback story and pranks involving unsuspecting people undermines both, leaving a muddled and largely unfunny result.

The 89-minute film has Ali approach HBO, then turn to online platforms such as TikTok, where he gains some success but also faces criticism. Baron Cohen also brings back characters from *Who Is America?*: Dr Nira Cain-N’Degeocello tries to expose Ali, while Erran Morad recruits MAGA sympathisers by falsely telling them Ali is a Mexican immigrant. The review says the civilian encounters often fall flat and that the film’s threats of kidnapping and attempted murder make its comedy feel troubling.
