Very disappointed :(

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.

Zoolander came right on the heels of 9/11 and was thus overshadowed because the film isn't as widely remembered as it should be. This is one of the finest performances by Ben Stiller and he teams up yet again with Owen Wilson to make a memorable comedy. Zoolander is set in the fashion world which in itself is a minefield of jokes and jibes. Then there is a subplot to kidnap the Malaysian Prime Minister by the evil henchmen played over the top hilarious by Will Ferrell. Chock full of cameos this is a great film. Do not miss.

I missed this when it came around first time but watched it recently with a friend who extolled its virtues. I don't have anything personal against the Ben Driller brand of comedy but I do find Will Farrell hugely overrated. This Mugatu character was painfully unfunny, I felt awkward seeing Ferrell and the Ballstein chap on screen. Granted, I chuckled at some of the set pieces but for a supposedly successful comedy, it didn't click with me.

ZoolanderIt's stupid and ridiculous and still not funny even though Ben goes all-in; he hardly makes a point.

This is actually a very clever and smartly executed comedy revolving around dumb characters. I just found this film to be amusing and I had a smirking or chuckling most of the way through the first time I saw it. Ben Still is actually really good at making these comedic movies. So the movie is revolves around a very exaggerated male modeling. With most of the humor coming from mocking models and the modeling career. How models are dumb and so superficial, which can actually offend some real models out there if they don't have a sense of humor about it. But than again, there are plenty of movies that bash on handicap people and overweight people. Where it has that it's funny cause he or she is fat kind of ordeal. But in this, it's funny cause he is so dumb and lack common sense type of humor. Which has been done many times before as well. However the way the humor connects so well with each scenario is what makes this movie really work as a comedy. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this movie the first time around and I am currently looking forward to the sequel.9/10
