Zoolander No. 2 has more celebrity cameos than laughs -- and its meager handful of memorable gags outnumbers the few worthwhile ideas discernible in its scattershot rehash of a script.

Zoolander 2 takes pains to reference every successful gag you remember from the original, and then embellish them in painful-often offensive, almost always outdated-fashion. Feb 19, 2016 | Full Review…

The first film scored a few palpable hits, but the new one barely makes the effort, and the poise of a work like "Funny Face," which both mocked and fêted a devotion to couture, seems an impossible dream. Feb 15, 2016 | Full Review…

If you want to see this, see it addled. With a fashion crowd, if that's not an oxymoron. Or something. Feb 14, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There are some clever bits and the satire is at times scathing but, on the whole, moments of hilarity are like oases in a desert of tedium. When Zoolander 2 isn't funny, the silliness strains the viewer's patience. Feb 14, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

While all comedies get refined in the editing room, this one feels like it was slapped together there, as Stiller - who also directed - searched for laughs. Feb 12, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

Directed by [Ben] Stiller, the work is serviceable but not outstanding, save for the film serving as a compact travelogue for Rome. Nov 5, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

Zoolander 2 exists in its own fabricated world rather than acting as a satirical spin on the more absurd elements of our own. Jul 19, 2019 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

ZOOLANDER 2 is a true stinker, the kind of unfunny, nap-inducing comedy likely to be a future Razzie nominee. May 7, 2019 | Rating: 1/5 | Full Review…

Stiller's script has some fun with the common sequel trap of repeating old plot points and jokes, but doesn't escape it entirely. It's a relief then that the jokes about the series' new target - hipsters - land as successfully as before. Apr 17, 2019 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

There are a couple of genuine laughs, but the film fails to provide anything new and turns into a strange spy-type race to save the day and only proves to be underwhelming and forgettable overall. Apr 4, 2019 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
