Great movie but, Zoolander again?

Rating: 7/10 (25 November 2008)

I just watched a very funny movie about how silly Hollywood can be at times. The satire was fantastic, the actors were brilliant but, unfortunately, Ben Still"not funny"er played Derek Zoolander for the hundredth time. It was funny in Zoolander and kind of funny in Dodgeball, but seriously how many times can you play the same role and still be funny. Luckily, Zoolander wasn't the be all and end all of this movie, Downey Jr. carried the embarrassing Zoolander on his back, while the other supporting actors and Cruise/McConaughey did a fantastic job. In the end Stiller deserves some credit for making a very funny movie, however, maybe he should have left himself out of the script and left the comedic acting up to someone else. Unfortunately, for Stiller, what could have been a great all time comedy became a very funny movie in the year 2008.
