So this film follows the exploits of Ben Stillers comic creation Derek Zoolander a dim witted male model. There is an outrageous plot about brainwashing, fashion cartels, child slavery and a plan to assasinate an asian prime minister. But this is all little more than an excuse to get the characters honed on the Saturday Night Live Teevee show up onto the big screen, to let them loose and play about together in a wider setting.
Ignore the central one gag premise of the film that Zoolander is a dufus and you have a very funny film with quite a few laugh out loud moments. Wilson as Zoolanders nemesis, another airheaded male model, Hansel, and Will Ferrell as an evil plotting fashionista are brilliant. (The brainwashing sequence featuring Ferrells character is great). Theres a load of cameo appearances to keep your eyes peeled for; Winona Ryder, Vince Vaughn, Victoria Beckham, Donatella Versace, Moby, Christian Slater and Christopher Walken, amoungst others. Think Bill & Ted meets Pret A Porter and you're getting there. A good stoopidly funny film.
The DVD also contains a collection of out-takes, extended and deleted scenes plus the brief promo skits that were shown ahead of the films big screen release. There is also the obligatory yak track from Stiller. But this is all padding. The film would be enough even on it's own.
