Overrated and overhyped

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

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.

So 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!

(Originally seen a few years ago) Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson should be ashamed of this thing, it's so awful, you wonder how anyone could actually like it, with immature, painfully bad jokes and extremely irritating character's where each actor playing them gives perhaps the worst performance of each of their career's. Zoolander is among the worst comedies ever made. 0/10

If you are looking for a cerebral comedy, you certainly should not pick "Zoolander". It's dumb, rather silly and...dumb. But, it's also good for a few laughs and is a very amiable time-passer filled with lots of amazing cameos.The film is about a narcissistic idiot male model, Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller). He's world famous but also quite empty-headed...so empty-headed that Mugatu* (Will Ferrell) is planning on brainwashing him into murdering the president of Malaysia. Why? Well, because Mugatu and the other evil fashion designers want to keep operating their sweatshops around the globe and the new leader of Malaysia is in favor of outlawing child labor! Fortunately, a writer for "Time", Matilda Jefferies (Christine Taylor**) is there to help uncover the plot and with the help of another really stupid male model (Owen Wilson) the three of them work to disrupt Mugatu's plans.I will freely admit that the plot is pretty shallow and nonsensical as well as the ending being a bit dumb. However, the film is still works quite well because it is still quite funny and pokes a lot of fun at the fashion/modeling industry. While it's not a hilarious, must-see comedy, it does the trick and makes you laugh. And, it's interesting to see the many, many, many cameos by the rich and famous (such as David Bowie, Donald Trump, Natalie Portman, Lenny Kravitz, Fabio, Gwen Stafani and many more) as well as a chance to see nepotism in action, as Ben Stiller's parents (Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara), his sister (Amy Stiller) and his wife (Taylor)!*Mugatu is the name of a nasty white ape-like monster from a Star Trek episode, "A Private Little War".**If Taylor looks familiar, you might just remember her as the actress who played Marcia in the fabulous "Brady Bunch" movies.
