Review of Zoolander 2 (2016) by Reuben S — 01 Mar 2016

Zoolander 2 suffers from a certain thing called sequel syndrome. A lot of the jokes in it were stolen from the first one, overused and made redundant. Any original jokes they did have for the most part weren't very funny to start with, and got less and less bearable as the film went on. This was partly thanks to the actors performing the jokes, though, as none of the new characters were likable. Even Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson didn't look like they were enjoying the film-making process, as they and Will Ferrell weren't at their best. Even though the film started strongly, the bad jokes and in-originality along with the bombardment of pointless celebrity cameos and unsure actors meant the rest of the film didn't fair well, to say the least.

It's a comedy film, so people are supposed to laugh. I didn't hear much laughing.
