Zoolander 2 (2016)
7/10
IMDb Ratings are broken - This is a solid comedy
20 June 2016
Here is the thing - too many times I have made a mistake to watch a film only based on it's IMDb rating or reviews.

This crucial piece of information that is missing here is:

  • who is rating/reviewing the title?


  • which other films did the one love/hate?


That is why I want to give some information about me before giving my two cents on Zoolander2:

  • 35 year old male


  • as a kid I loved Mel Brooks films, Hot Shots Franchise, Jim Carrey Works...


  • I love brother Farrelly comedies


  • I enjoy most of Ben Stiller works (Cable Guy, Tropic Thunder...)


Now, with this information in mind, we can proceed:

In spite of bad ratings I chose to watch this one, and I didn't regret it. It is a well crafted over the top comedy with some clever and satirical gags.

Because of the fact that it's over the top - from start to finish, I don't have any problems with the story.

I guess it just depends on the mindset and maybe the mood. Both me and my wife had many laughs during the whole film.

Was it predictable? Yes. But I wasn't expecting it to be any different :)

I hope this helps.

Peace out.
