![]() Rather than rehash "Zoolander," Stiller and "Zoolander 2" scribes Justin Theroux, Nicholas Stoller, and John Hamburg have dished up something different that is devastatingly dopey. The bottom line is that if you still like the original for its humor rather than for nostalgic reasons, you'll like this movie too. If you can leave behind your cynicism and doubt for a few hours, you'll find yourself laughing throughout the whole movie with some parts hitting or missing a little more than others. Like Derek and Hansel the style's a bit washed up, but at it's core the movie is still the best of it's kind. Don't get me wrong, I love the new style of comedies those mixed with action like Kingsman, those more mainstream like 21 Jump Street, and the dry existential comedies like Grand Budapest Hotel, but if you can allow yourself to forgive a bit of corniness and just watch this movie with the same sensibilities you viewed the original, you'll be in for a lot of laughs. The negative reviews ignore what made Zoolander great in the first place. Zoolander was always corny, the acting was always dumb, the writing corny, that's what made it great. But anyone complaining about how it doesn't stand up to the original or that it's a bust is viewing the first Zoolander through heavy nostalgia glasses. With that in mind, the style of the movie feels dated. What's currently popular changes extremely quickly, especially in the comedy world. If you didn't like Zoolander, this movie isn't for you. In conclusion, if you liked the original, see this movie, it's great. In my personal opinion, I think the movie would have been awesome with a bunch of comedians playing fake designers Almost like the Anchorman fight scene. They should have cut all dialogue from them. Also, as others have mentioned, the designer cameos were a disaster. Its like they didn't know how to end it, when something much simpler could have been satisfying enough. That's it, and thats funny to me.I do have some complaints, but they definitely aren't enough to keep me from watching again. The whole thing is how dumb these guys are, how being dumb gets them in trouble, and they get caught up in these dumb story lines and in the end, they are still dumb. Kristen Wiig was deece.The movie has a dumb story, but I think that's the point. Fred Armisen could have been funny, but fell a little flat. Will Ferrell was decent, his performance started out strong, but got out of hand towards the end. Kyle Mooney was hilarious, I wish he had a larger part. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson fell right back into character perfectly and were very funny. We went on a Friday night in an empty theater, so I don't know how a big theater crowd would react, but I loved it. The jokes and one-liners were right on par with those in the first one, acting from the MAIN ACTORS was spot-on, and I laughed my balls off. Comedy of Zoolander was still in people's heads. ![]()
