The audience leaves the theater thinking, "It took them 15 years to come up with this?!"

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 22, 2022

If my seven years on Twitter have taught me anything, it's that bitterness rarely brings the funny.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 3, 2022

Ben Stiller reprises his role as a former model in a throwaway but amusing sequel.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jun 8, 2021

The best thing about Zoolander 2 is that it is such a fashion faux pas and so desperately unfunny it's hard to imagine Stiller and Company making a third one fifteen years from now.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 3, 2021

Any hint of intelligent sarcasm or parody has vanished in favor of non sequiturs, references to the previous movie, and slapstick.

| Original Score: 1/10 | Dec 5, 2020

Filled with half-baked ideas that could use a whole lot more cooking.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 27, 2020

Whether he did it for nostalgic reasons or by outside influence, going back to this character feels like a weak attempt at capturing old glory. In other words, Ben Stiller is better than this.

| Original Score: D+ | Jul 13, 2020

Zoolander 2 is a pointless, soulless rehash that appears to go out of its way to avoid any sort of fun or intelligence.

| Original Score: D | Jul 3, 2020

Even though the film squandered its potential by setting its sights much higher than they ever really needed to be, it was great to see Derek Zoolander back on the big screen.

| Apr 3, 2020

Zoolander 2 is heavy on cameos but light on laughs.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jan 22, 2020

Directed by [Ben] Stiller, the work is serviceable but not outstanding, save for the film serving as a compact travelogue for Rome.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Nov 5, 2019

Zoolander 2 exists in its own fabricated world rather than acting as a satirical spin on the more absurd elements of our own.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jul 20, 2019

ZOOLANDER 2 is a true stinker, the kind of unfunny, nap-inducing comedy likely to be a future Razzie nominee.

| Original Score: 1/5 | May 7, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 17, 2019

Zoolander 2 made me laugh, so there you go.

| Original Score: C | Apr 15, 2019

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.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Apr 5, 2019

The plot's as uninteresting and flat as it sounds, a trashy send-up of the international spy thriller that chose to spoof that genre seemingly arbitrarily. But all that could be quickly forgiven with some good, solid comedy.

| Original Score: 3.5/10 | Feb 22, 2019

Derek Zoolander and company have definitely fallen out of fashion.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 20, 2019

I probably laughed, or at least was amused, at about three out of every 10 jokes in "Zoolander 2." That's a good percentage if you are a baseball player at the plate, but not good for a comedy.

| Original Score: C | Jan 15, 2019

[Stiller and Wilson] emerge...wearing orange jumpsuits bearing the labels "Old" and "Lame." Those labels are perfect descriptions of this unnecessary sequel.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Dec 31, 2018
