Ruining the memory of the original cult hit, Zoolander 2 completely sh*ts itself. After a series of celebrity murders Interpol recruits former fashion models Derek Zoolander and Hansel to help them in exchange for helping Derek find his estranged son. The ridiculously dumb comedy and fashion satire of the first film is multiplied times ten here and it doesn’t work at all. Without any straight characters to ground it, the whole thing becomes total looney tunes. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson easily slip back into their roles, but the rest of the cast is piss-poor (including Will Ferrell who returns as Mugatu). Zoolander 2 isn’t without laughs, but it’s just too insultingly stupid (and not in a fun way).
