'Zoolander No. 2' is many things: its stupid, boring, repetitive, lazy, a cash grab... but it is not funny. Not even Will Ferrel can carry Ben Stiller's disappointing mess of a sequel.

Instead of genuinely funny stuff, this film’s major shortcoming is that it relies so heavily on cameos (30+ ranging from Valentino to Willie Nelson to Neil deGrasse Tyson). Ben Stiller (who also directed and co-wrote) and Owen Wilson returnInstead of genuinely funny stuff, this film’s major shortcoming is that it relies so heavily on cameos (30+ ranging from Valentino to Willie Nelson to Neil deGrasse Tyson). Ben Stiller (who also directed and co-wrote) and Owen Wilson return as vacuous models, who after years of seclusion, find out that they’re no longer in vogue. The first half spoofs the fashion industry (to mostly lame effect), but when Will Farrell appears as the villain, the focus shifts to an equally unexciting attempt at becoming an action flick. There are a few amusing moments and lots of energy, but the majority of this selfie falls flat. Sadly, the cameos are the most fun thing about it.… Expand

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.

Cameos left and right only go so far to in this stupid film. 15 years in the making and Hollywood comes up with this lazy dumb film? The only saving grace is Will Farrell at the end.

Zoolander 2 is not only obnoxiously unfunny on its own, but damages the original. The characters have lost all realism and have become annoying caricatures. Ben Stiller is really, really, ridiculously awful here. As is the actor playing his horribly grating son. The plot is stupid, the writing is completely flat, and it's just not funny at all. I laughed a few times and they were all from Will Ferrell as Mugatu, but even he didn't live up to the potential of his brilliant character in the first film. Penelope Cruz and Kristen Wiig are hardly in it and don't really offer anything other than star power for marketing. It's filled with all-star celebrity cameos, but nothing interesting comes from them. I was thoroughly disappointed with Zoolander 2 as a whole and expected so much more from Stiller and gang.… Expand

The new Zoolander is nothing like the first one. The film is so boring, and barely funny. As oppose to the first Zoolander, which was so stupid that it was funny, the second one isn't even funny. It's just stupid.

The problem with it was that while the first one was more focused on lampooning the fashion industry, the second one spends about half an hour making jokes about how weird modern fashion is, before suddenly becoming a spy movie. That said, it was still funny. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson did great jobs, but as with the first, Will Ferrell stole the show. He was absolutely hilarious. And Justin Bieber's death scene was one of the greatest movie beginnings in the history of cinema (do I have to explain why?). So overall, while not as good as the first one, Zoolander 2 is a mostly satisfying sequel with enough laughs to overcome its flaws.… Expand

Ben Stiller proves this by returning as director, writer,Even as a huge fan of the first Zoolander I found this sequel to be incredibly disappointing. Let's be honest, there was really no reason for it. Especially not after all these years. Ben Stiller proves this by returning as director, writer, and star all the while lacking any truly worthwhile ideas.

The whole thing just seems like Stiller came up with a few good jokes over the years that could fit the Zoolander character, but ultimately not enough to make a complete movie. He then proceeded to make the movie anyway. Rather lazily at that too. In order to fill in the rest of the pieces required to make a Zoolander 2, Stiller threw together a haphazard plot, tossed in some cheap jokes, and filled the movie with a plethora of cameos with the hopes that nobody would notice the lack of genuine humor. It all just feels so cheap.

The world of Zoolander is much more gonzo this time around. It's got so many over-the-top characters and absurd environments. It all not only looks fake, but feels fake as well. A case of style over substance. It's obvious the budget wasn't that high. You can tell the majority of the movie was filmed in front of the world's most obvious green screens.

I do appreciate Stiller's sense of imagination though. He's content to take nothing seriously and has crafted a world where anything can and probably will happen. It's also nice to see a genuine character comedy nowadays. It's just a shame it isn't that funny.

It does it's funny moments though. I can say that the movie did get a few laughs from me. The problem is that they are few and far between. The time in between these gags is spent following a pointless plot and watching countless other jokes fall flat on their face thanks to how obvious they are. I got to give the film credit for Kyle Mooney though. He was a consistently funny presence.

The area where Zoolander 2 disappointed me the most was with it's lack of satire. There are some moments where it pokes fun at hipsters, political correctness, and the except everybody movement, but it's largely lacking in any legit social commentary. Stiller seems to forget what a crucial element that was to the first movie's success.

Zoolander didn't need a sequel. While not entirely bad, Zoolander 2 certainly proves that. It largely forgets what made it's predecessor so great. As a result it's remarkably less funny. I do appreciate that 2001 sense of humor it so desperately tries to bring back into modern times. However Stiller's need to go bigger in order to hide the lack of quality content prevents that from happening. It's a subpar sequel and comedy. One that isn't even likely to satisfy fans of the original. I know it didn't this one.… Expand

Everything I wrote was just my personal opinion, definitely not intended to offend anybody. Ben Stiller is a good actor, but a fine filmmaker, His directional ventures were awesome, especially after his last film 'Walter Mitty' the expectation was very high on this, but I did not think it'll end like this. It hits the rock bottom, the lowest point in his directional career. His odd film experiment had failed, just for one project and I know he will come back strong. But as an actor, he still got the star value and I'm looking forward for his upcoming project.

It has been 15 years since the original film and I don't remember much of it. But before this, I had a very quick re-view, so I'm to get a clean flow for a better understanding. Anyway, the film gave a brief report about the past events in the beginning, but when I saw the first face in the opening scene I knew it will going to suck and it did.

Okay, the first, the story was decent, but not the jokes. And the next, there are too many cameos that kind of ruined its pace to keep quiet for sometime and to focus on actual story development. From all those, the best part and where I actually had a brief laugh was to see Neil deGrasse Tyson. The second films are always very crucial, because it is a bridge between the original film and numerous follow-ups to set up a franchise status. So clearly this film stumbled and I don't think there will be any more films in this series.

The original 'Zoolander' had its own brand appeal, but with this bad film it got lost. The production was very good and so the performances, but the humours were average. No offense, there are some people who still liked it, but I did not, so I won't recommend it for the 'Zoolander' fans as well as if you're looking for a good comedy. But like I always say who knows you might like it, so think twice in which one is if you're reading this review and the second is analyse it before to decide anything.

The movie does some re-treads for nostalgia's sake but manages to keep the ball rolling and not confuse newcomers. The plot, although hard to follow at times is an extremely solid satire of both the modelling industry and overly sensitive people. The movie is all hits as far as comedy goes for anyone except who the film is putting under fire (Another reason why the movie got panned, it offended pansy's and those kind of people lie in the critic and blogging industry).

Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell are as amazing as you'd expect in their returning roles. The acting and delivery is what really makes this movie succeed in quality. The celebrity cameos are also better executed than expected, being really witty and clever.

Overall, this movie is hilarious and hits all the right spots.… Expand

The jokes were satire and often in the background but they do their job.
There are a lot of quotes (often mocking) of other movie, good visual, good costumes, a lots of cameos by actors-musicians-stylists that are willing to making fun of themselves (For example Susan Sarandon that auto quote herself from Janet Weiss character) in a good mix.
