Wow, what happened here? Zoolander was silly, but utterly hilarious. Actor and director Ben Stiller has taken Z2 several steps too far, breaking that suspension of disbelief I like to rant about so much. Hansel and Derek (Wilson and Stiller respectively) are not funny, and it's embarrassing for all when they try. The audience at the Cineworld Crawley screening me and my fiancee attended were just as unimpressed as us, as awkwardness follows
awkwardness. Zoolander's charity building collapses, killing his wife and injuring Hansel. After many years of living like a hermit, he's on the search for his son, and will hopefully revamp he career at the same time. The plot's all over the place, characters that should be funny (Ferrell and Wiig) are left to wither and die. I found myself playing 'spot the cameo' I laughed hard once in the 102 minutes running time, which isn't near enough for what's deemed a comedy.
