Zoolander (2001)

Also Known As: -
Year of first release: 2001
Director: Ben Stiller (The Cable Guy, Tropic Thunder)
Actors: Ben Stiller (Mystery Men, Meet the Parents), Owen Wilson (Armageddon, Cars), Christine Taylor (Dodgeball)
Country: USA
Genre: Comedy
Conditions of visioning: 27.11.2012, DVD, 40" TV
Synopsis: It is a troubled period for fashion designers: the prime minister of Malasya is about to increase the minium wage for their factory workers there. Derek Zoolander (Stiller), three times male model of the year, might help them solving their problem.
Review: Classic Ben Stiller comedy, revolving around the strange and ridiculous world of male models and their day-to-day life. It turned out that I laughed less then while watching Dodgeball, contrarily to what I remembered, maybe because the movie is a bit more often serious.
There are still some unforgettable moments like when Stiller shows us his famous "looks", or when he goes back to his roots and meets his family working in the mines. The character of Hansel (Wilson) is completely different but very funny in his style too.
Rating: 6 /10
