At times Zoolander threatens to disappear up its own catwalk, but it's often very funny stuff. Full Review
This light silly and fluffy satire of the fashion industry targets for a change not the female but male models. Full Review
During its fleeting moments onscreen, the movie's lighthearted spirit and comic energy make for entertaining, escapist fare. Full Review
Often unspeakably funny. Full Review
If the Malaysians made a comedy about the assassination of the president of the United States because of his opposition to slavery, it would seem approximately as funny to us as Zoolander would seem to them. Full Review
Though basically an extended skit, Zoolander never runs out of amusing satiric thrusts. Full Review
