Input: plot : derek zoolander is a male model .
he is also very dumb and impressionable .
for that reason , he is secretly hired and trained ( so secret , that even he does n't know about it ) by an underground fashion syndicate to assassinate the prime minister of malaysia , who wants to abolish child labor in his country .
will zoolander fulfill the dirty deed ?
will zoolander ever grace the world
his new " look " ? is this a funny movie ? find out below . . .
critique : there 's a place in our world for " stupid comedies " .
films which do n't pretend to take themselves seriously , are based on idiotic premises and filled with dumb jokes .
there 's also a time for them and many would argue that this difficult period of our history , might be an ideal circumstance during which to " relax " by watching something so completely frivolous .
well , if you 're in the mood for some seriously mindless entertainment , ben stiller and his cast of many have assembled one of the more original dumb comedies in some time .
of course , comedies as such are usually very subjective and i could see how some will see this film simply as stupid and unfunny , while others will grant them the " stupid " , but consider it funny instead .
i personally enjoyed it for the most part , cracked up loudly during a couple of specific sequences and loved the derek zoolander character and the unrestrained whipping they released upon the fashion industry . snap !
it was also nice to see several real - life models with small roles in the movie , not taking themselves too seriously .
and if you 're the type of person who likes celebrity cameos in films , well , do n't look any further because dozens of famous faces show up here including vince vaughn , billy zane , winona ryder , christian slater , david duchovny , natalie portman and many , many others .
i especially liked andy dick 's complete make - over as the masseuse .
hi - larious !
but with all films of this type , there is bound to be some stuff that simply does n't work .
a few particulars which did n't strike my fancy included the bulimia and " orgy " sequence with christine taylor , the break - dance fighting , and i also never get why they use real countries in plots like this ( why not just " make up " a country , instead of zeroing in on a certain people ? ) .
i also could have done with less of the taylor character in general , since she was n't all that interesting and seemed to slow things down every now and then ( more zoolander , dude ! ) .
but those few missteps were nothing compared to some of the more memorable scenes which definitely did work for me !
i almost pissed myself during the " gas station " disaster , absolutely adored the " walk - off " contest ( with david bowie as the judge , no less ) and appreciated
many of zoolander 's moronic one - liners ( " i was a merman . . . a merman ! ! " ) .
and i dare you to get his " monkey " photo shoot out of your head after seeing this movie
( " you 're a monkey , derek . . .
a monkey !
" ) i also really liked the soundtrack and the pace of the film , both of which zipped and zagged , and established a nice rhythm to it all .
again , it 's to note that this movie is dumb and not for everyone , but my guess is that if you laughed at the trailer , you will likely enjoy many of the quips in the actual picture as well .
if you thought the trailer was dumb , skip this dodo bird and go rent austin powers again or something , a film from which there is an obvious influence here .
blue steel , baby .
