Query: A pale copy of the TV Show

I am a huge Ali G fan...and I loved the HBO show (5 stars out of 5). So I went to the movie expecting more of the same, and boy was I ever disappointed. The real problem to me is that too much of the movie (all of it?) was scripted. The genius of the TV show was that it was improv depending on what happened with the guests, usually with hilarious results. This movie on the other hand relies too much on scripted situations and you just get the feeling that they are trying too hard, whereas with the TV show things just flowed.Interestingly enough I found that people who loved the film had never seen the Ali G show, and that most of the people who had seen the show were disappointed with the film...count me among them.If you saw the film and have never seen the Ali G show, take my advice and check out both seasons and see if you don't agree with me.H777
