Zoolander 2001

did you ever think that maybe theres more to life than being really really, really ridiculously good-looking?

Hilarious

this movie is a masterpiece.

Its so intentionally bad that its brilliant!

I have never been on the Zoolander train. There is some outrageous and cheesy stuff in here. The humor often veers towards stupid over silly, which is obviously hit or miss with people. It is more of a miss with me. This original is much better than the sequel, though.

Rating: 2/5 - 65% - Not Recommended to Everyone

Honestly, one of the funniest comedies. Silly, but fun. I think the level drops a little in the final stretch but this is one of those guilty sins.

However, the sequel is garbage.

Some very funny moments but overall I expected more.
Great acting, good music and a fun story but at times it felt like it was dragging a bit.

“There’s more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking.” From writer/director Ben Stiller comes Zoolander, an outlandish satirical comedy that delivers a ton of laughs. Male model superstar Derek Zoolander returns to his roots in the wake of a tragic accident, but ends up being caught up in a web of international conspiracies and murder plots. With an all-star cast that includes Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Christine Taylor, Will Ferrell, and dozens of fun cameos, the film is exploding with hilarious performances. And the more outrageous and off-the-wall the film gets, the funnier it gets. Not all of the humor works, but for the most part it’s inventive and clever. An entertaining screwball comedy, Zoolander is really, really, ridiculously entertaining.

Don't watch it. I regret it already

funny silly movie, enjoyable when not taken seriously, i personally whatched this high.

big, beautiful, and dumb. i love this movie.

This movie is so stupid hilarious! You have to give this movie credit for what it is. Making a movie that’s supposed to be funny but stupid at the same time, is pretty difficult because more than likely it’s just going to be stupid and not funny.

On the surface this looks like the stupidest comedy ever conceived, but in actuality it's... well, actually it's every bit as dumb as it seems, but it's also inconceivably hilarious. Loaded up with eyeball-rolling gags and perfectly-timed celebrity cameos, it's overstuffed with stream-of-consciousness satire and the very best veins of Ben Stiller's unchained sense of humor. Stiller's ironic crosshairs wave all over the place, landing precise jabs at society, fashion, politics and celebrity while still finding time to keep the ridiculous primary narrative in motion.

Owen Wilson is flawless as Zoolander's flaky new-wave rival Hansel (he's so hot right now) and Will Ferrell makes the most of a criminally-brief amount of screen time in his own inimitable way. I was blown away by how creatively funny this was the first time I sat down with it, and I'm equally amazed with how well it's held up over the ensuing eleven years. The laughs simply do not stop coming.
