Exuberant and insidiously funny satire.

Basically one elaborate joke about male modeling and all the vanity, emasculation, and fatuousness that attend it. Fortunately, it's a good joke.

The humor is simple but far from dumb. The dueling "walk-off" between rival male mannequins is inspired, as are the sly juxtapositions of the male model's faux physicality with such real-world demands as coal mining.

Fluffy, inconsistent, but enjoyable.

It's to Stiller's credit that he can sustain the joke for the length of the movie, but just barely. Ten more minutes of Zoolander would have been 10 minutes too many.

The main problem is the director-star's choice to play so far beneath his intelligence for so long. Stiller lacks the physical gifts and projected sweetness of, say, Jim Carrey in "Dumb and Dumber," and unlike Peter Sellers in the "Pink Panther" movies, he can't keep a straight face.

Isn't absurd enough to be funny.

Olha eu até que gostei fui sem nenhuma expectativa e pra minha surpresa o filme é engraçadinho. Só vi por causa dos memes também da carinha dele.

This movie somehow ends up being funny and good. I don't know how Stiller pulled it off though, managing to eke out a watchable movie out of one of the weirdest plots I've ever experiences and the blatant cultural offense. Actors give convincing enough performances (for the most part), but Ferrell is great. Overall, an ok movie.

I get that it's funny to some but it was never watchable to me. It's easily one of Ben Stiller's worst film's in my opinion

As a parody of the fashion industry and the often shallow state of the world, Zoolander is average. On all other fronts, including Ben Stiller's direction and performance, the film runs flat.
