Charge your micro-mini cell phones and whip up some orange mocha Frappuccino, 'cuz Zoolander is on the runway, and you're gonna laugh your booty off! Based on a sketch created by writer-director Ben Stiller and cowriter Drake Sather for the 1996 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards, Zoolander is a delirious send-up of New York's fashion scene as epitomized by male model Derek Zoolander (Stiller), a dimwitted preener who's oblivious to a Manchurian Candidate-like plot to turn him into a brainwashed assassin. Tipped off by a reporter (Christina Taylor), Zoolander teams with rival model Hansel (Owen Wilson) to foil the poodle-haired fashion designer (Will Ferrell) who's behind the nefarious scheme. The goofy plot's only half the fun; with roles for Stiller's parents (Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara), dozens of celebrity cameos, endlessly quotable dialogue, and improvisational energy to spare, Zoolander is very smart about being very stupid, easily matching the Austin Powers franchise for inspired comedic lunacy. --Jeff Shannon

Average Customer Rating: 3.5 out of 5

1) Best movie ever.   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
If you love "stupid comedies" like austin powers and movies like that then you'll LOVE this movie.

2) FUN!   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Just silly, funny and you know they all must have had a blast when making this film! Watching it on regular TV is not nearly as fun as many words or scenes may be cut. Great cast and many cameos as who wouldn't want to work with Ben Stiller, as he seems to be quite the character.

3) Some of the funniest scenes EVER   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Just like any comedy, there are some misses, but some of the scenes are the funniest you will ever see. When male model Zoolander returns to his home and family (father and brothers) in the "coal mining region of Southern New Jersey", you will laugh your blank off

4) It's So Silly I Laughed The Whole Time   [Rating: 5 out of 5]
Not many movies make me laugh; not many things make me laugh, but this one did. It was wonderfully and outrageously silly. It's been quite a while since I last saw it, and it still gives me a good feeling. I bought it for a friend, because she seemed to be enjoying it, while we were drifting through Myer-Emco. It still leaves me with a good feeling, and I think I am going to borrow it from her sometime.

5) If it doesn't take much to entertain you..   [Rating: 1 out of 5]
...This would be the movie to watch. The funniest thing about this comedy is that a studio actually put money into this script and managed not to recoil in shame. It's cute, it's pointless, it's a perfect movie to watch when the tv screen is watching you, or a group of friends are not sober and bored.
