Summary: Zoolander, so hot right now, Zoolander
Review: If you haven't seen the movie then dont ask about the title. Ok, this movie is probably the second or third funniest movie I have ever seen, along with monty python and some Mel Brooks films. One thing to clear up, I'm 14 so if you dont have a 14 year old sense of humor rent it before you buy it ( i did) but even my parents at 50 found it funny. The movie is about a male model, if you think about it even that is funny. Well I won't give away the movie its too good to deserve that, but i will say that the dvd is packed with great special features. WATCH THESE AFTER THE MOVIE It has the clips of Zoolander when it first started back in 96 and 97 director commentary for the whole movive (if you want it), extended and deleted scenes (which are funny too) and a hidden feature which if you dont want give away dont read past now!
go to the second part of the special features menu and highlight the pictures and stills part then press right and the mugatu logo will be highlighted press enter to watch derek and hansel rehearse the walkoff

Summary: Excruciatingly Stupid Humor, yet strangely enjoyable
Review: This movie was almost too painful to watch, like America's funniest home videos, when you know the kid is going to knock a home run straight into his father's jimmy sack, it hurts, you know it does, yet still you watch. This movie is a straight kick in the mental croch, yet it is almost impossible to turn away from it and watch something more intellectual like Airplane! or a rerun of Jerry Springer, the black homosexual midget clans man or something. Is my point clear enough yet? The movie is a must watch if you are into stupid humor and wasting your time, watch it on a rainy day when you don't want to go outside and smell the sewage in Jersey. Though I might add, that the entire southern section of California might not want to view this title, you may take it as a serious movie.

Summary: one of the best
Review: looking for a comedy? this is it. Ben Stiller is funny so is Owen Wilson. If you liked comedy duo films like Rush Hour 1 & 2, Shanghai Noon... you'll like zoolander. lots of big stars poped in this film for fun: Natalie Portman, Billy Zaine, Lance Bass, Gary Shandler, Tyrese, Fabio etc... Great actors... very funny film! I'd recommand this to anyone!

Summary: Zoolander. Zzzzzzz.
Review: I have always been a fan of Ben Stiller. Ever since I happened his long since cancelled television show. I have seen most of his films and television appearances. I look forward to his film version of WHAT MAKES SAMMY RUN, which has been avoided in Hollywood for 50 years. I even have a soft spot for films like THE CABLE GUY, which did not go over well with the audience. I did however miss his introduction to the character Derek Zoolander on the VH1 fashion awards. Well, the film ZOOLANDER gave me an opportunity to catch up, as it has a lot in common with the fashion awards. Unfortunately the film has nothing in common with any of his better efforts. Stiller is Derek Zoolander, the 3 time male model of the year whose throne is threatened by Hansel (Owen Wilson THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS), a blonde. In one of the films few chuckles, Derek loses his title but he, in denial about the loss makes his acceptance speech. Then a stringed out designer (Will Farrell SNL) uses mind manipulation to turn Zoolander into an assassin. Along the way are sporadic chuckles. Will Zoolander follow through with the deed? What about his friendship with Hansel? What percentage of the audience will get through the first half hour? Zoolander is, putting it mildly, a lesser effort by Stiller. A film that seems to be guided more by the VH1 fashion awards then by a comic mind. There are several model cameos of which I recognized about 1/10th. Jon Voight (COMING HOME) makes a valiant appearance as Derek's coal miner father. And Ben's actual father, Jerry Stiller has an awful role filled with bodily function humor. The DVD has a nice audio/video transfer so you can see the shortcomings even clearer.

Summary: Unbelievably TERRIBLE, I Can't Believe They Charge Money!
Review: I cannot waste more than a few sentences on this terrible, absolutely not funny, piece of trash film. I am so disgusted with myself for having purchased this DVD and contributing money towards production of absolute TRASH like this... This is one BULLET I didn't dodge...

Summary: What's wrong with comedies
Review: People always say comedies are stupid, pointless etc. The reason comedies are funny is because they are stupid and outrageous. This is an extremely funny movie, perhaps not for old people but just get yourself a sense of humour and enjoy.

Summary: Saturday Night Live skits don't make good movies..
Review: ..sometimes they don't even make good skits either. Why make this film? It is such an obviously bad idea, it makes me wonder if people in Hollywood are ALL crazy. I was lucky, I watched this movie for free so I didn't waste 10 bucks (well, not lucky really, never watching this mess ever would have been REAL lucky). Nothing is more soul draining than watching an unfunny comedy. The phony accents, the constant mugging for the camera, the bad jokes all contributed to my nausea. Pure torture..

Summary: 3% BODY FAT. 1% BRAIN ACTIVITY. 100% FUNNY!
Review: The Ben Stiller film 'Zoolander' took the year 2001 by storm. It quickly became one of the funniest and greatest comedic accomplishments of the year. So what makes a film about a vacuous male model that has trouble turning left such an amusing film? The answer is simple; finally a modern comedy that actually works. Great cast fabulous characters, good story line, hilarious cameos and the continuous dissing of male modeling. Derek Zoolander (Stiller) VH1 male model of the year 3 times running life is turned upside down when his is usurped by the young and 'hot' model Hansel (Owen Wilson). Derek goes on a journey to find himself in a world that doesn't make sense to him. When he is brainwashed to assassinate the Prime Minister of Malaysia by the evil Jakob Mugatu (Will Ferrel) who is upset as garment prices will rise due to the elimination of child slavery in Malaysia. Derek is forced to deal with both his homicidal tendencies when he hears the song 'Relax' as well as his superstition by Hansel. The result is pure comedy. Sure the film essentially has a one running joke basis (That of making fun of the fashion world and male models) but it seems that the jokes don't remain stale. When the audience finally get tired of seeing 50 'looks' from Derek all exactly the same we suddenly see a petrol fight between a group of models set to 'Wake me up before you go, go' by Wham. The result of this constant changing of mood and comedy leads to the same jokes being fresh when they are initiated again. In many cases having a lead star direct his/her own comedy film doesn't really work. Of course there are exceptions to the rule, namely Kevin Smith's films. But in Stiller's directorial debut who'd of thunk he would pull off the two roles so well. It's so very easy to see the intentions trying to be brought out by both Stiller and Wilson due to the fact they are real life best friends and thus it's easy to see the onstage repore they have and the directing supports this. Some of the film's funniest moments stem from the cameos by recognized stars. David Duchovney plays a hand model from yesteryear who guides Zoolander through the world of assassination and intrigue that stems from the male model lifestyle. Billy Zane plays Derek's stalwart friend in the party scene and it's simply hilarious to here Zoolander say 'Stay out of it Billy Zane'. I was simply howling with laughter when low and behold David Bowie appears to judge the walk-off in which Hansel decides to be daring and 'go monk'. Also the use of Maury Ballstein (Jerry Stiller- Ben's father) of 'Seinfeld' fame is hilarious and this father and son dichotomy works brilliantly in the context of the film. The DVD is feature packed for a single disc. Deleted and extended scenes are actually very funny; some memorable scenes include dialogue between Hansel and Winona Ryder that was cut from the film. Sound and picture and both very good, the vibrant colors transfer perfectly to the DVD format and the exaggerated 80's soundtrack sounds great though a home theatre system. Not to be forgotten is the amazing menu screens that are only rivaled by 'This is Spinal Tap' in which Derek puts in his own two cents about each button. 'Zoolander' is a comedy success. For a film that came from nowhere and immediately became a box office hit the film is amazing. A Stiller directorial debut is great and we can only hope he decides to do more base comedy like 'Zoolander' in the future.

Summary: Knew what I was getting into
Review: I didn't see this movie expecting to see Academy Award winning performances. Parts were very funny and the non-funny parts will still probably grow on me.
