Review of Zoolander (2001) by Max G — 26 Jan 2013
I realized when I rented this that I hadn't ever seen Ben Stiller being comedic. Even in the comedies I've seen him in, he's usually been the straight man. That being said, I *really* enjoyed this movie.
Ben Stiller's portrayal of Derek Zoolander was wonderfully hilarious, and not nearly as over-the-top as I expected it to be. (Will Ferrell, on the other hand, goes way too far with his little role.
Not a fan of that performance.) It was a funny script that made me laugh out loud several times, and while occasionally the jokes were a little predictable, overall the writing and performances were genuinely funny.
