Masterful Movie

Disapointment

What begins as a feel-good-human-interest story turns into a mystery, then a tragedy, and ultimately an outrage.

Blistering performances.

Making long-after sequels to classic comedies is risky: while "Clerks 2" and "Anchorman 2" got away with it, "Zoolander 2" - released 15 (!) years after the cult original - is a giant waste of time.Yes, the film tries to tick all the nostalgic boxes, with plenty of references to the original - nearly everyone from the first film returns - and plenty of celebrity cameos, but it's not as inspired as the original. Even attempts to parody the ridiculousness of fashion don't work, coming off as embarrassing at times.The plot tries to incorporate spy elements and even some strange "Da Vinci Code" cult/conspiracy, but it still doesn't work. Derek (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) are the exact same idiots from 15 years ago (which was endearing and funny back in 2001), only Derek has a son and Hansel has a family with a bizarre orgy group. So is there anything good about this movie? Justin Bieber's death is entertainingly violent, it's great to see the gorgeous Penelope Cruz again, and Benedict Cumberbatch has a ball playing a pretentious, gender-fluid model.If you love "Zoolander", ignore this garbage and watch the original for the millionth time. It'd be a much better use of your time.

Zoolander 1 is one of the funniest movies ever mad; clever fresh. The second one is absolute disaster: not funny, cringe worthy, and such a waste of time.

How did all this well known actors agree to be in this mess! Almost unwatchable. Nothing makes sense in this script. Jokes are so forced you almost expect someone to poop himself in a second. As a consequence of all the reasons above half of the jokes(being not funny) end up being straight up offensive.

Wacky and non senses cult film. The main guy Zoolander is the main character from Night of the Museum, I assume he is very famous in Hollywood (maybe?) , because there is a bunch of Hollywood celebrities cameos. Yet forgive me, I am not any of their fan or hater, so even the dead of Justin Bieber is meaningless to me. The movie just really really creepy, making no senses at all, so awkward to watch. Plot is empty and meaningless, some good reviews said this movie is an irony art to the fashion world? Sorry, I am not in the fashion industry. Normal people watch movie for fun, not exaggerated absurd, that is over and abrupt. I laughed none at all, so frowned upon to these lepers.
