Review: Zoolander 2 - Ben Stiller (2016)

"OLD?" - Hansel
"LAMÉ?" - Derek

        So my local cinema has an advanced screening of this film last weekend (06/02/16) and I decided to wait till now to start reviewing films again, at least this will be out before release day.

        The film picks up in the present day fifteen years after the end of the last film and summaries what happened to the characters in the intermediated years, the situations the main characters find themselves in is equally hilarious and heartbreaking (at least in regards to the characters) and in the broadest sense results in Derek Zoolander and is soon Derek Junior being separated and the most basic synopsis of the film being the two finding each other and getting back together.

        This film is filled with celebrity cameos from start to finish and while some work better than others they all raise a laugh from the audience.The reason for most of celebrities being in the film is to do with the plot of the film which is celebrities are being killed by assassins and then posting death selfies pulling Zoolander's signature Blue Steel look before they die, this leads to the fashion police looking for Zoolander, while at the same time the fashion world is looking to bring Zoolander and Hansel out of retirement. I don't want to spoil the rest of the plot of the film, but I will say that the bad guy from the last film do show up in the film and their appearance is hilarious and over the top.

        I loved this film and I was so glad I went into it not knowing anything about the plot. I know a lot of reviews are being very harsh and judgmental about this film but I feel they are being overly hard on it, in my opinion it was one of the funniest film's I've seen in ages and was the first for a longer time that make me burst out laughing and did the same with everyone in the cinema. I'd highly recommend going to see this film if you're in the mood for a laugh, don't go expecting a great story but it's far from the worst story I've seen.
