Riotous (18 July 2009)
I will confess I only watched this because I was a captive audience on a plane. I'm not normally crazy about Ben Stiller; but I certainly enjoyed the film a lot more than I expected to. The best scenes are those between him and Owen Wilson. The two of them camping it up as over-the-top-male models, in a ludicrous plot about an assassination attempt on a head of state is absolutely barmy, but also extremely funny. The chemistry between them really comes over, plus the fact they obviously had a huge amount of fun making the film. It's riotous and ridiculous; but delivers plenty of laughs and certainly passed a huge chunk of time most enjoyably on an interminable flight.

Stiller's Zenith (28 April 2009)
This is possibly the best Ben Stiller film, the only other decent one is 'Mystery Men'. Surreal humour abounds and Stiller's incessant mugging to the camera and his trademark man/child persona haven't yet become annoying. Owen Wilson is also on fine form and the pair's 'dance-off' refereed by David Bowie is one of the funniest things I've seen in a movie.

What is this? A center for ANTS? (31 July 2008)
This film is truly amazing. It may only appeal to people with a certain sense of humour, but I must be one of those people as I almost split my sides laughing. I was still randomly saying quotes from Zoolander about a month after I'd seen it!
As usual, Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson make a brilliant partnership; they have a similar sense of humour so you can see that they are really enjoying making the film.
This may not be the classic, thoughtful and deep film that some people want to see but in my eyes it is the best film I have ever seen, and would be perfect for a fun night in or sleepover.

Stiller's best (06 July 2008)
Ben Stiller (Meet the parents) stars as Derek Zoolander, a confident but stupid male model who loses his crown to Hansel (Wilson) and decides to take time off to search for something else, only fashion mastermind Mugatu (Ferrell) has his own plans for Derek.

This 2001 comedy directed by Stiller is sharp, funny and bizarre, a very good combination and one of the most delightful surprises of the noughties.

Having portrayed many weird yet wonderful characters in his career, Stiller again dives deep into his best quality, that daft and humorous side that his fans love and he does so in such a way to make the film very enjoyable. Many performances of his have always been fairly repetitive, however with the type of jokes encoded and his direction does it come off and with the support, can we see a true energetic performance. The quality of direction is good, using a variety of shots and techniques to get the weird and wonderful messages across.

Successful support is given by Owen Wilson (Wedding crashers) and Will Ferrell (Blades of Glory) all comedians with a similar style and combining recognized comedy actors justifies the genre and gives a clear message to audience about the life of these characters.

Though the plot is predictable, daft and utterly a bizarre portrayal of what really happens in the fashion industry, you just have to sit back and enjoy it anyway. Too many films these days, particularly comedies, are made with no depth and hardly any funny jokes and predictable written underneath the title, for example The Heartbreak Kid. But sometimes they work, this script is sharp, and actually is funny with physical and other types of humour used to justify the needs of the viewing public, bring back this style of comedy.

There will be shaking of the head moments and turning to look at the wall when one of the clichés appear but for the most part, Zoolander is sharply written, a completely daft yet enjoyable comedy that does work and is perhaps the best performance by Stiller in his long and established career.

8/10
