Review – Zoolander

So if you set out to make a movie about stupid characters and the end result turns out to be one of the dumbest things ever committed to celluloid, can your work be described as a success? I’m willing to say no on that one, at least based on what I’m looking at here. This whole movie plays like a bad piece of sketch comedy that even the writers know is bad, but it just keeps going and going in the vain hope that sheer tenacity will eventually translate into entertainment value. If you think there’s sport in mocking the world of male fashion models – or maybe if you find Ben Stiller’s grinning monkey head funnier than I do – perhaps you’ll get a kick out of this. Otherwise, well, at least it began with a Z. Wish I’d skipped it
