Fourteen years. It has been 14 years since the last Zoolander movie. I have to confess that the first time I saw the majesty of Derek Zoolander and Hansel was my freshman year in college, otherwise known as last year. My roommate loves the movie, so I figured I would give it a try. When I just mentioned it to her, she laughed and smiled. She called it “stupid funny.” That is exactly what it is. I laughed throughout the whole movie because of the complete ridiculousness of the jokes. Yet, although I found them ridiculous, I would be quick to offer a quote if the movie was brought up. I feel like that happens with a lot of comedy movies. Sometimes, you just need a laugh. Comedy movies provide a release from the stresses of the everyday. Finals are coming up quickly. We are stressed, nervous, and anxious. I recommend watching Zoolander as a reprieve or a form of emotional therapy after a long paper or yet another exam. While you are doing that, I suggest you take a look at these five reasons to be excited for Zoolander 2. But remember, you should watch the first one. Actually, I guess you don’t have to, but you have till February until the next one, so you have some free time to fill.
1. Ben Stiller as the all-mighty Derek Zoolander (male-modeling has never been this cool)
2. Owen Wilson as Derek's famous rival Hansel
3. Will Ferrell as the Villain of the movie
4. The ARRIVAL OF BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH as the new, hottest model on the scene
5. LOTS OF LAUGHS... Hopefully
If you are thinking that the movie might be a good time, then you're right. But here is the link to the trailer to persuade you further:
