Zoolander

I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.

I only saw this movie because a friend told me it was good. Every other friend I have told me I would hate it, but I had to try, I guess. Zoolander is as bad as anyone has ever said. Avoid it in all it's forms.

Stupid comedies are difficult to pull off. Movies like Christine Taylor added a level head of reality strong enough to remind me every second how much the movie sucked.

If I had one good thing to say about the movie, it was the cameos. There are enough of them and they are surprising enough to give a spot of fun to an otherwise bore of a film. This doesn't warrant seeing it, however.

The DVD of Zoolander includes a Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack and a 16x9 enhanced picture. There is a commentary track with Stiller but I had no desire to hear him talk for an hour and a half about how great his shitty movie was. There are no extras that make this worth any purchase or rental.

If you can't tell, I don't like this movie. I got blasted for my review of Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back instead.
