MOVIE REVIEW: ZOOLANDER No. 2

In Zoolander No.2, hot model Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller) quits the fashion business, and went into hiding when his wife is killed in a building collapse. His rival, Hansel (Owen Wilson) also went AWOL hiding in the Moroccan desert. What will bring these guys back to the world and themselves?

Like in the first movie, actor Billy Zane (he played the bad guy and Rose’s fiancee in Titanic) is friends with male model superstars Zoolander and Hansel. When major fashion icon Alexanya Atoz (Kristen Wiig) invites both to come to Rome for a fashion show and party; Billy tracks them down and finds Zoolander and Hansel.

Zoolander decides to do the show because he wants to have a real job again, in the hopes that he will get his son Derek Jr. back from Child Services (a government department that protects the rights of children). Hansel comes because he has gotten his entire commune pregnant, and isn’t ready to be a dad!

When In Rome

Zoolander finds his son and, at first doesn’t accept him because he’s fat. Zoolander and Hansel will then help Interpol agent Valentina (Penelope Cruz) find the killer of several pop stars – Justin Bieber included – who after killing them, takes selfies with them as they breath their last.

The Big Fashion Ball

As the movie progresses, Derek’s son is kidnapped as a sacrifice by Mugatu – who manages to break out of an isolated prison – and all the famous fashion designers in the world who do not want Zoolander and his offspring to control the fashion industry with their Blue Steel and Magnum signature looks which they can use to control objects even while on the fashion runway

At the IncrediBall, Mugatu and the designers secretly meet underground to sacrifice Derek Jr. before Zoolander, Hansel and Valentina can come to his rescue. 

Will Derek Jr. be saved? Will Mugatu destroy Zoolander’s hopes of a life with his son (and having Valentina as his girlfriend)? Will Zoolander and Hansel ever be successful again as top models? 

In conclusion, this movie has lots of famous people appearing as cameo; everyone from Justin Bieber to Katy Perry, including fashion designers like Tommy Hilfiger and Valentino. Those who might have seen the first Zoolander movie will probably get the movie better than the newbies.
