UPDATE SUNDAY MORNING
According to the ad that ran last night on “SNL,” Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Ali G” movie is playing for one weekend only on October 23rd.
According to a check of theaters, “Ali G: Who Iz I?” is getting an extremely narrow release of just a few outlying houses, and even then once or twice a day.
Amazon is clearly dumping the comedy.
One sign that things have gone bad is that hew TV commercial uses Cohen’s Borat character and all of Borat’s flavor to pitch Al G. The two have nothing to do with each other, but Borat is now the bait and switch.
In the new trailer, Borat insists “Ali G” is unfortunately Not Racist, as rumored.
How bad is “Ali G: Who Iz I?” It must be pretty awful
Sacha Baron Cohen has really made a mistake bringing back his Ali G character.
A new ad trailer that popped on “Saturday Night Live” tonightsays the movie is only playing in theaters for one weekend October 23rd.
This is a new wrinkle, something added to the trailer that was running just yesterday.
Then Amazon/MGM will probably stream it on Amazon Prime for anyone who cares.
The movie is already not being shown in Picturehouse theaters in the UK...
