Someone is killing off the world's premiere celebrities, and they are all dying on camera complete with the celebrated Blue Steel pout made famous by male supermodel Derek Zoolander 20 years ago. The trouble is that Zoolander has not been seen since he became a hermit crab following the terrible accident which led to the death of his wife and his son being taken into care, so Valentina from Interpol's Fashion Police division has to contact him first. Fortunately, a mysterious package brings him out of hiding: not only Zoolander, but also his once-colleague and friend Hansel...
The amazingly dim Zoolander and the slightly less dim Hansel finally get a sequel 15 years later. It has a plot which is every bit as daft as the movie as a whole – this is one of the silliest movies I have seen for quite some time. It is also very funny, frequently laugh-out-loud funny. And it is filled with cameos, ranging from fairly extensive appearances which have strong bearings on what happens in the film, to blink and you'll miss 'em appearances on a computer monitor.
Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and Will Ferrell reprise their sillinesses from last time, and it is a pleasure to see Penelope Cruz being every bit as silly, and fully prepared to make herself look daft. I wasn't prepared to see some very big names from the fashion world (not that I know much about it, but I do read the papers) taking part in sending themselves up fairly mercilessly.
I enjoyed this greatly.
