Zoolander
Directed by Ben Stiller1h 29m2001
Clear the runway for Derek Zoolander, VH1's three-time male model of the year. His face falls when hippie-chic Hansel scooters in to steal this year's award. The evil fashion guru Mugatu seizes the opportunity to turn Derek into a killing machine. It's a well-designed conspiracy and only with the help of Hansel and a few well-chosen accessories like Matilda can Derek make the world safe for male models everywhere.
Our read: Zoolander (2001) reads as a cosy, kinetic, inventive comedy entry — gentle in intensity, intimate in scope, measured in temperature, ambivalent in outlook.
