Zoolander 2

Review by David Jenkins @daveyjenkins

Directed by

Ben Stiller

Starring

Ben Stiller Owen Wilson Penelope Cruz

Anticipation.

Was the first Zoolander actually any good?

Enjoyment.

The humour flatline gets a faint heartbeat when Will Ferrell turns up.

In Retrospect.

Exceptionally, insultingly poor.

As director and star, Ben Stiller sleepwalks through this drab, inconsequential comedy sequel.
