Review by humanresistor

The reviews of "Zoolander" have tended to say one of two things:

"it's stupid", or "it's stupid fun". Briefly speaking, I'd choose the

latter option, but there's more to it than that.

What makes "Zoolander" such an entertaining movie is not simply

the ridiculous plot and script; on paper, sometimes it's just too silly

and sometimes it doesn't work.

It's the realisation of the basic idea that makes it effective. The

acting is very strong, the direction creates just the right mood, and

the production design is really excellent. The story, such as it is, is

excellently paced, and the movie flies by.

You really get the impression that thought and care went into

perfecting the stupidity.
