... View MoreI cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.
... View MoreSo funny! Such a clever commentary on the fashion business. Cameos are not forced, and it is genuinely so funny. Please, do not watch part 2!
... View MoreOr does it? Some may think that is the case with the sequel, especially considering the voting it received here at IMDb. But let's stick with the original, that paved the way and/or elevated the career of those involved. The comedy trio in this do a great job selling their actually ridiculous roles and "looks".And by looks most do know what I mean, even if they haven't seen the movies. Zoolander and his facial expressions can almost be described as epic. As well as completely and utterly bad. If we would be talking about a quality or a class if you want to call it that, this movie would be slide ride under it. So lower your standards and enjoy a well executed and funny ride
... View MoreZoolander follows the male model Derek Zoolander as he embarks on a journey to discover who he truly is and is ultimately manipulated into doing something evil for the sake of another person. That plot synopsis was not very good, but with a movie like this it's hard to get one that is. Zoolander is a very odd movie. The humor is very goofy and dumb, but it's also very good and pretty clever at times. It's easy to laugh at and enjoy, and it truly is just a weird movie. As far as character depth and plot development goes, this movie does lack. It doesn't show during the movie because it's clear that this is kind of it's intention. It's not trying to be a masterpiece, it's just trying to make you laugh. And it does just that. I don't wish that it'd been deeper or anything, either. With a movie like this that simply wouldn't make any sense. Every time it did 'go deeper' that moment was immediately shot down by some goofy joke, further proving that the movie was trying to be anything but deep or emotional.Overall Zoolander is a lot of fun. It's very funny in a dumb and goofy way. While nothing about it is particularly deep or developed, it's clear that it's not supposed to be. And that's not a bad thing. It was made to entertain and that's what it did. In the end I would recommend this movie.
... View MoreZoolander is filled with all kids of jokes, and little moments that just make you laugh. It's a really funny comedy. It's the end of Derek Zoolander's (Ben Stiller) fashion career as a male model due to a negative news story by journalist Matilda Jeffries (Christine Taylor) and increasing rivalry with fellow male model Hansel McDonald (Owen Wilson). Meanwhile fashion industry moguls Jacobim Mugatu (Will Ferrell) and Katinka Ingabogovinanana (Milla Jovovich) are plotting to assassinate the prime minister of Malaysia because he opposes child labor. Because they need a dimwit who won't protest, Mugatu chooses Derek to be the assassin. Matilda meanwhile investigates the shady business to save Derek. The movie is just nonstop jokes throughout and it's an overall hilarious movie. The characters are all great. Derek, Hansel, and Mugatu are all especially funny. It's a good flick so if you have some extra time on your hands give it a watch.
