Zoolander No. 2

Sometimes it’s a little thinner than the first one, sometimes there’s "more of the same" and as a result it’s outrageous fun, if Zoolander's very specific style of humor combining goofiness, sophistication, bizarre craziness and absurdity is your thing. In any case, it is a shot in the dark for those who liked the first Zoolander. The sequel is something very similar - total mischief filmed by people who have significant filmmaking skills, are not stupid, have a sense of comedic timing and a variety of humor styles from comedians to serious faces through manic creation, to all of the possible subtypes of satire and parody. The film has a slower start, there are a few dead spots and not all of the jokes work, but I laughed almost continuously during the last twenty minutes. (15.02.2016)

As a big fan of the first Zoolander, I was really looking forward to the second installment, but this? If it hadn’t been for the cast, I wouldn't have given any stars to this pathetic attempt to follow up the first installment. Mind-numbingly boring, nothing works, the script is terrible, the jokes aren’t funny, absolutely zero originality. This is what tea would taste like if you re-used the same bag 10 times.

I had a great time, and that was enough to make me happy this time. Excellent actors in absolutely foolish roles, but some in great ones. The presence of many stars will surprise you, some of whom you may not even notice. But this is an experience that will stay in my memory for a while, and I am very glad for that. It's great to have a good laugh at the cinema once in a while. (21.02.2016)

I haven’t seen a cringier comedy for a long time, which I didn’t expect at all. And I must say that I didn’t even expect anything of the Zoolander sequel by default, since the first one years ago didn’t really excite me either. But people change, the times change and I thought that maybe, I could be a little bit more lenient with this kind of humor. But not only did Ben Stiller shoot total garbage, which could have been expected, it was also incredibly cringey, which I didn’t anticipate. When I was watching the movie, I felt embarrassed for him, and that doesn’t really happen often. At least Owen Wilson was there as Hansel and looked like he was actually from this world. (12.11.2016)
