critics consensus
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. Read critic reviews

Far too much of the film feels a laundry list of references to the original.

While not a film likely to have a lot in the way of staying power, I still enjoyed Zoolander 2, the sequel reminding me that Stiller is a creatively inspired director who should probably step behind the camera more often than he right now does.

Failing to tap into practically any of the charm of its predecessor is Zoolander 2, a supposed comedy devoid of practically any creativity and humor.
August 2, 2016 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review… -
One of the most unnecessary sequels of all time (yes, I've seen Speed 2).
June 13, 2016 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review… -
Agonizingly paced and bewilderingly outdated, Ben Stiller's long-awaited sequel is a sad march through every single joke from the 2001 original.

Silly jokes and A-list cameos pass the time, but it's pretty much more of the same from Ben Stiller, Luke Wilson, Will Ferrell and the rest of the gang.

Apr 24, 2017This is a silly sequel, in that it doesn't pack the laughs of the original. There are so many cameos you loose track, just like the story. Would only recommend for true fans of the original, although you all might be disappointed.Jarrin R Super Reviewer

Aug 30, 2016Although not as funny as the original, "Zoolander 2" is hilarious. Great costumes and hair with some really fun characters (such as Kristen Wiig's character and "Don Atari"), there's a lot to appreciate (and laugh at) in this film. For instance, how can anyone resist laughing at a Neil de Grasse Tyson cameo declaring, "That's what I do. I'm Neil de Grasse Tyson, B-tch!"? The poor critical and audience reviews are not justified in my estimation. I would definitely recommend this film to anyone who enjoyed the first film, or anyone who just wants to see a silly film making fun of fashion, modeling and James Bond.Christian C Super Reviewer

Aug 23, 2016Ruining the memory of the original cult hit, Zoolander 2 completely shits itself. The ridiculously dumb comedy and fashion satire of the first film is multiplied times ten here and it doesn't work at all. Without any straight character to ground it, the whole thing becomes total looney tunes. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson easily slip back into their roles, but the rest of the cast is piss-poor (including Will Ferrell who returns as Mugatu). Zoolander 2 isn't without any laughs, but it's just too insultingly stupid (and not in a fun way).Dann M Super Reviewer
