Retro Review: Zoolander (2001)

Hello All,

So I find myself snowed in today. Since I had nothing to do I decided to tackle a movie that gets brought to my attention quite a lot, even if it’s for the unfortunate circumstances surrounding its original release date. Of course the film  I’m talking about is Zoolander which originally came out on September 11th 2001. Yep. So with its sequel coming out this week, I decided to watch the film on Netflix. I now have to justify in my head why I did that…...yeah no regular intro today, I just want to get this over with.

Plot Summary - Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) is the greatest living male model, who gets unknowingly drafted into a plot to kill the newly elected Malaysian prime minister.

Pros -.................................................................................................................................

Cons - I did not laugh once, this entire movie. Not a single time. Not even a chuckle. Every joke is either lazy, bad, dumb, or just simply mind blowingly dull. Why do people think this movie is funny? Why is it getting a sequel? What in god’s name is this movie’s appeal? It’s just one joke, that Derek Zoolander is stupid. Well guess what, when your only joke is that your main character is stupid, IT MAKES YOUR MOVIE REALLY GODDAMN FUCKING STUPID!

Final Score - 0/10

It gets the fucking Pixels score. I need a fucking drink. Fuck this stupid movie.

Next: The Great Digital Film Festival is this week, I’ll probably do a review of one of those films. If not, Deadpool on thursday.

Until then, I have so much of my life to contemplate on after watching this.
