Obey my dog!
Best comedy ever. Classic movie with classic moments in every scene. Yeah, it's corney, but that's what it's trying to be. If you start watching the movie knowing this, you'll love every scene.
Obey my dog!
Ben Stiller very over-rated
Ben Stiller may be the flavour of the moment, but he is definitely over-rated in my opinion. I finally saw "Zoolander" after avoiding it for some time. Granted, there were a few funny moments (eg. Merman) but this film is really aimed at people who have the lowest IQ. Ben Stiller acts the same in all his films, so it was no surprise to me to find that he acted the same in Zoolander. Same facial expressions etc etc.
I think I'll stick to films where actors work hard at their craft.
Excruciatingly Funny
I am still laughing about this movie, even though I saw it several days ago! I have never seen a film that makes simple-mindedness, male modeling and the fashion industry so entertaining.
This is easily Ben Stiller's most hilarious offering. Through mind-numbingly idiotic international male supermodel Derek Zoolander, Stiller both skewers and winks at the world's modeling/fashion industry.
The plot: As the Malaysian Prime Minister prepares to raise wages for his country's impoverished workers, the powerful fashion magnates who rely on cheap labor prepare to strike back. Fashion designer Mugatu is ordered to dispose of the prime minister via an extremely dimwitted patsy, who comes along in the form of Derek Zoolander.
Zoolander becomes the perfect candidate when he looses VH1's Male Model Of The Year Award to archrival Hansel (Owen Wilson), and becomes disillusioned with the fashion industry. But, that's nothing an orange flavored coffee drink cant fix! Life is like a video for Zoolander, whether carousing with similarly dimwitted friends, working in a coal mine or facing down archrivals in back-alley 'walk-offs'.
Words cannot describe the entertainment value of seeing Derek Zoolander, male supermodel, working in a coal mine with his father (jon Voight), played strangely like Christopher Walken. I almost fell off the couch.
There are few genuinely smart characters in this film, but their presences only serve to make the rediculous heroes (and villains) more hilarious. Christina Taylor plays Zoolander's love interest, an intellectual reporter with Time magazine who finds out about the plot to destroy the Malaysian P.M. Jerry Stiller plays the soft-hearted owner of Balls Models, a reluctant participant in Mugatu's scheme. Finally, Saturday Night Live's outrageous Will Ferrell plays Mugatu, the evil fashion designer who programs Zoolander to do the dirty deed. I don't understand how any of the cast made this movie-I would not have been able to keep a straight face.
Most of the extras in this film are, were or can be associated with the modeling/fashion/entertainment industry. Some are mentioned by name, but you can catch others if you are careful and knowledgeable about such things.
There is not enough space to gush about this movie. This is a simply a piece of comedic brilliance that should be seen to be believed.
