Grimerlana Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Janae Milner Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.

Allison Davies The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

ankasikora So funny! Such a clever commentary on the fashion business. Cameos are not forced, and it is genuinely so funny. Please, do not watch part 2!

Richard ParkerII This film made me LAUGH!Repeatedly. And, Plot, acting, visuals all came together -- even though the story dances on the edge of absurdity.Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson are excellent in this film. Will Ferrell is unforgettable as the 'villain'.50 times better than the sequel, zoolander 2.

ericventura It's stupid. So incredibly stupidly ridiculous. If there was a contest for stupidest stupidity, Derek Zoolander wouldn't be able to figure out how to accept the award. But it's also incredibly funny. And incredibly inappropriate. And it came out at the wrong time. Zoolander is a stupidly funny and inappropriate movie.The plot of the movie is abysmal and the concept is idiotic. The characters are cliché and static. The writing is awkward and Sandler-esque. Every other element of the film is completely unmemorable and done with average ability. Everything combines to create an extremely unrealistic film of the classic Hollywood comedy genre. So is Zoolander a good or bad movie? The film is actually an incredibly intelligent (but stupid) piece that both criticizes and satirizes multiple aspects of society at once, including the genre niche that this movie resides in. The screenplay is written so that Derek, played by Ben Stiller, can both be laughed at and sympathized with. The valleys and mountains that Derek Zoolander crosses are stupid, yet the viewer becomes attached to him. Standard filming forces the viewer to attach themselves to the main character's hopes and dreams. Thus, the parody and satire in the characters and events vigorously come across the screen.Zoolander is another Hairspray (1988) or Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964), a wonderful satire on the events and feelings of the time. Yet Zoolander is even funnier.

kosmasp Or does it? Some may think that is the case with the sequel, especially considering the voting it received here at IMDb. But let's stick with the original, that paved the way and/or elevated the career of those involved. The comedy trio in this do a great job selling their actually ridiculous roles and "looks".And by looks most do know what I mean, even if they haven't seen the movies. Zoolander and his facial expressions can almost be described as epic. As well as completely and utterly bad. If we would be talking about a quality or a class if you want to call it that, this movie would be slide ride under it. So lower your standards and enjoy a well executed and funny ride
