This Generation's Zoolander?


Just the impression I got from the trailer. The critique of celebrity lifestyle. The incredible stupidity and arrogance of the main character. The celebrity cameos. If it's good, it really could be the sequel Zoolander never got.




And yes, I know Zoolander got a sequel...

I hope too and it really looks promising from the trailer. They just have to make it right. The jokes must be polished and not over the top. BTW i know Zolander 2 was bad but i still want to see it (nostalgia got me again).

I hope they manage to find that perfect balanced vibe like in Brooklyn Nine-Nine -- spoofing tropes and yet also having some pretty intelligent humour.

Like Zoolander was at certain times, but hopefully way more consistent start to finish -- BOY BANDS have not gotten a spoof treatment yet, how is that possible!?

Yeah I got that vibe from the trailer too!
I really hope it's good, Zoolander is one of my favourite comedies and I really like Andy Samberg so I'm looking forward to it

If it's good


Well, that's the thing. Zoolander was actually funny.

This film looks pretty funny from the trailers as well. I like pretty much everything the Dudes do though, So YMMV.

What a lovely way to burn...

Zoolander 1 fan here yea this *beep* over zoolander 2 and is almost as good as zoolander 1.

Cult classic 4sho

reply

this film is funny, but not as classic as Zoolander... I watched it because I like Andy Samburg and it has some truly funny moments, but I doubt I would watch it again, whereas Zoolander holds up to multiple viewings... just my opinion

reply

Yeah this is this generation's Zoolander. It's so good and underrated, just like the first Zoolander. Better actually.

reply

Just saw it... yeah, 100% deserving cult status and it just follows what Zoolander and This is Spinal Tap did for their generations. It deserves some Oscar love for Best Song, I'd say "Finest Girl" was the best of the bunch...
