Zoolander (2001) is one of my favourite feel-good, silly films. Starring Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson, Will Ferrell, and Christine Taylor, it offers a satirical look at the world of male modelling.
I’m almost certain that 90% of the time, as the movie played, I was either smiling or laughing. It’s the story, dialogue, production, costumes, and general ridiculousness that tickled me so.
There isn’t much for me to hate about star/director and co-writer Ben Stiller’s film. To me, Zoolander is edited perfectly, with not a single moment of wasted screen time. How could this not be the case, especially when Stiller, a proven funny man with great comic timing, is so heavily involved in the movie?
I enjoyed every single character in Zoolander, including the one played by a young Alexander Skarsgård. David Bowie’s short but all-important cameo is also a key highlight. In fact, I enjoyed all the cameos. Something I wish I could say about Zoolander 2 (2016)
My overall favourite character is absolutely Jacobim Mugatu, a fashion designer character played perfectly by Will Ferrell.
Happy Film Loving,

The Movie My Life 
What is this, a house for ANTS?!
Hansel! He’s just so hot right now!
😁 Yes! It was so good to hear all the classic lines again. ❤️
I need to watch this again after reading this, G. It is a crazy, wild ride of a film…always worth a walk down the runway…always fashionable!🤣
Love what you did there, Mr Chess. 😁 It’s fully worth it. Treat yourself. 🤓🥂
Been awhile since seeing it. Time to see it again.
Excellent plan! 🤓🥂
“What is this? A school for Ants!”
Doesn’t the office building in Severance look a bit like this maquette?
Haha! I wonder if it was intentional.
I don’t think there are coincidences like this.
Very possible. 🤓
It wouldn’t surprise me since both productions have Ben Stiller in common. I actually haven’t watched a second of Severance just yet, but it is on my list.
😁😁😁!
Were you going to rewatch the Zootopia and misclicked? 😂
😂😂😂! I already re-watched Zootopia very recently. Nevertheless, I’ll gladly watch it again before the sequel. That wonderful Shakira song was playing in my head as I typed this reply, so I just put it on. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6rP-YP4c5I
You know I listened to it right now. 😁
It must be done. I had a feeling you’d appreciate having the link right there. 🤓🥂
And yes I need to rewatch it as well. It’s been way too long. Blue Steel all the way!
Blue Steel, Le Tigre, Magnum, I simply couldn’t choose. Enjoy. 🤓🤞
It’s such a crazy movie. I really love it.
It’s arguably too fun to hate, kind of like the first The Naked Gun film.
The first Naked Gun movies were amazing. The perfect parody of certain noir movies from the ’80s. I still love them and they aged perfectly.
I haven’t seen the new Liam Neeson one yet, but I’m glad many enjoyed it.
