Inspired by the death of his friends, who have been killed in a gasoline fight, a famous male model, Derek Zoolander, announces his retirement, the thing that brings terrible for him, as he finds himself involved in a conspiracy that aims to kill the Prime Minister of Malysia, as he has brainwashed to achieve that mission.
Doesn't Stiller realize that the fashion world is already its own parody?

So lazy a comedy that I kept looking for Adam Sandler's name in the credits...essentially a funny 3-minute short with a bloated, unfunny full-length feature grafted on to it.
Ben Stiller often forgoes go-for-broke comedy for the sake of getting rich. Not so in "Zoolander," which is not only Cuba Gooding Jr. and Billy Zane's best work of the last decade, but what remains Stiller's flat-out funniest film - down to the DVD menu.
During its fleeting moments onscreen, the movie's lighthearted spirit and comic energy make for entertaining, escapist fare.

About as dumb as dumb comedies can get, Zoolander suffers from a weak plot and even weaker characters, yet the performances by Stiller, Wilson and the extremely funny Will Ferrell more than make up for it.
