Soooo NOT funny!
Aug 31 2002
Format:VHS Tape
I don't see what all of the rave reviews are about. 2 Stars is really being too kind. This movie was not funny at all. All else aside, I can't stand Ben Stiller. He is not funny period. I don't know what I was thinking when I watched this movie because it was a total waste of time.

Stupidity that works
July 1 2004
Format:VHS Tape
"Zoolander" is one of those movies that, rather than sinks in it's own stupidity, soars in it (very rare). It is one of those movies that Rob Schneider wishes he could make (and when he evolves into an actor with real talent, he will). It's one of those movies that has one of the most ridiculous plots I've ever seen (Zoolander is brainwahsed to kill the Malasian prime minister, and the cast tries to save the prime minister; it is less of a plot than "Billy Madison had, and I say that with total honesty). Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson are great at being complete idiots who, when are told that there are files "in a computer", take it literally. Also, the movie tries to parody the modeling world, especially when Mostuafa (sp?) screams at one of his clients for being 5 pounds overweight, and succeeds with flying colors. A great comedy that brings out the inner superficial moron in us all.
you should see it just for Stiller's modeling faces!

I love this movie! Ben Stiller is a decidely handsome man, and to see him hamming it up as Derek Zoolander, a not-too-bright male model, with this intense look he calls "Blue Steel", is on the edge of believable. I still laugh when I think of a billboard for Feria hair color staring three faces with intense baffling expressions -- which is just barely parodying the real ad!
After losing a male modeling award to the dreaded Hansel and his 3 best friends die in a terrible accident, Derek retires from modeling. But he gets a call from Mugatu, a fashion designer who never hires him, to star in an upcoming show. Mugatu brainwashes Derek into killing the prime minister of Malaysia so he can continue to run sweatshops with child labor there.
Starring Stiller's father Jerry and wife Christine Taylor, this satire is hilarious, full of visual gags that are very witty in today's media-saturated world.

Zoolander trades and revels in stupidity
First, I would like to say that I have loved Ben Stiller's work in the past, he has talent to burn. This movie, however, did not help his already marginal career along. Read more

So ridiculous it's funny...
This directorial debut for film funny-man Ben Stiller is so stupid, so goofy, so outrageous that it's incredibly hilarious. At some points, I was laughing so hard my side hurt. Read more

One of the best comedies of last year
