Another movie that I avoided, but the all-star cast demands a second look. Just in the starring cast alone you have Stiller (Zoolander & Director), Penelope Cruz (Valentina), Will Ferrel (Mugatu), and Owen Wilson (Hansel). Blink and you might miss some celebrities like 'Rev.' Sting, Katy Perry, Ariana Grande (in masochist gear), Willie Nelson, and more... Movies are too cost-conscious now and gone are the days of the great star-filled epic movies from the golden era.
This film continues the parody about the fashion world's lust for youth, attention, and the perfect look--yesss, finally. Zoolander must protect his son, the "Son of Steve." The hunt is on as the fashion elite want to drink the blood of Zoolander's son (Cyrus Arnold), because he is a descendant of the father of all models, Steve, whose blood grants eternal youth. Mugatu captures him and Zoolander and Co. descend on the models' convention to stop them before his son is sacrificed.
It caught the attention of my Millennials. They liked seeing Bieber victimized. Will Ferrel made this comedy better than No. 1. I'm usually not a fan, but his particular humor did not take over this time but added to the sequence and form of the movie. My balcony also liked the family antics, like Freelander can't dress his son with an inside out fleece vest and eyeliner to school and not expect the kid to not have social issues.
Stiller decided to make this his baby, directing and co writing the flick. He might have over reached. Yet, it did create some awes. The humor is a motley kind of cornball, sexually insinuating, sarcastic, and slapstick all in one. It was better than I thought. I bring this up from losing to Midfield. I would definitely watch a No. 3.
