Movie Description
Two hip-hop inspired comedies are collected together on the ALI G INDAHOUSE/HOW HIGH VALUE PACK.
On his popular TV show, comedian Sacha Baron Cohen uses his imbecile character Ali G. to interview unsuspecting subjects and mine comedy from the clash between the cultures of faux hip-hop and self-important politics. In this feature film, Ali G becomes part of an evil Chancellor's plot to expel the Prime Minister of Great Britain. The British wannabe gangsta appears so infernally clueless that the Chancellor (Charles Dance) believes it will be easily to manipulate him in the campaign to oust his nemesis. However, he doesn't count on Ali G's ability to unknowingly to stumble into greatness. His "Keep It Real" slogan fires the public's imagination and Ali G (and the Prime Minister) become more popular than ever before.
HOW HIGH is a raucous comedy about two underachieving potheads from the projects, Cyrus and Jamal (rappers Method Man and Redman), who, through bizarre circumstances, end up attending Harvard University. It all begins when Cyrus' friend Ivory dies, and Cyrus uses his ashes as fertilizer to grow marijuana. When the two are taking their college entrance exams, Jamal explains his philosophy: Study high. Take the test high. Get high scores. Smoking Cyrus' magical weed somehow summons the ghost of the brainy Ivory, who gives them all the answers to the exam. They are recruited by Chancellor Huntley (Fred Willard) to attend Harvard, where they use the weed to continue their academic success, but thanks to the machinations of the uptight Dean Cain (Obba Babatunde), they soon find themselves without Ivory's help, and are forced to maintain their scholarship grades on their own. The plot reaches its peak of comic ludicrousness when the hapless duo attempts to dig up and smoke the remains of John Quincy Adams. HOW HIGH features Mike Epps, Tracy Morgan, and Spalding Gray in supporting roles. The film is scabrously funny and refreshingly free of logic, reason, and political correctness.
