Following family tragedy, Derek Zoolander withdrew from the world of fashion, but now he is reunited with his old nemesis Hansel. The out-of-date male model duo travel to Rome just when someone is killing famous pop singers. Zoolander was a needlessly wacky but modestly funny comedy. For this belated sequel, Ben Stiller turns zaniness to 11, and the resulting movie is a total disaster. The story, in the loosest sense of the word, lost me within the first ten minutes. Never mind, the whole project is just an excuse for dozens of celebrities to appear as themselves. Thankfully, most of them do not outstay their welcome, but it would have been nice if these few second cameos produced something funny. I didn't even smile once during the 100 minutes.
