Okay, this is definitely not the movie I want to be talking about this weekend. I'm not happy about this. Let's just get into this movie. We'll make this quick. You've probably got something to do today. If not, go do something! Get off your ass. Zoolander 2 is the sequel to a genius comedy that came out 15 years ago. This one is about Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) trying to get back into the modeling buisness and Derek trying to get his son back, as he was taken by child's services. That's the basic plot anyways. This movie is filled with dumb humor just like the first one, but this one isn't as funny. It has some funny moments and some chuckle worthy scenes but overall, it's just stupid and you have all of these celebrity cameos forced on you and while some of them work, they are so pushed in there and they aren't funny. There is a lot of product placement in here too. The climax is just a bunch of modern day fashion designers who CAN'T ACT. Occasionally the sexual humor goes way too far. To show you what I mean by too far, I can give you an example. There is a moment where Ariana Grande dresses up as a gimp and asks Hansel to join an orgy with her. That may not sound too bad, but when you watch it with a theater full of children, it can get kind of awkward. Will Ferrell and Ben Stiller are the best parts of this movie. There is a hilarious segment inside of a "fashion prison" involving both of them. There are many scenes that reference events in the first film and again, some of them feel forced. On a random note, I was expecting to hate the Justin Bieber scene shown in the trailer but it was actually hilarious! That was indeed a nice surprise. I did really hate this hipster character who is supposed to be annoying but it didn't work even in a comical aspect. You know who else I hated? Kriisten Wigg. She was so incredibly annoying and all around insufferable. I hate her in that so much it's ridiculous. She's probably one of the worst characters of the year, but it's still too early to tell. This movie is not very good and I don't recommend you go see this. It has it's moments but it does not deserve your money. Go give your money to another film that is most likely playing next door. Wink, wink. Nudge, nudge. SCORE: 5.6/10
