Zoolander
Directed by Ben Stiller
2001
★ 3.5 editorial score
The World Trade Center had to be digitally erased from the skyline two weeks before release: an idiot male model, and Ben Stiller commits to the stupidity absolutely and without apology.
“Stiller...plays Derek Zoolander, the infantile, breathy-voiced supermodel he first played on the VH1 Fashion Awards in 1996. It takes some getting used to watching this quick-witted actor portray an narcissistic idiot boy who still forgets to turn at the end of a runway. But from the moment we see Derek narrow his eyes and suck in his cheeks to rehearse his pouty new look — he calls it Magnum — the fun begins.”
