Zoolander No. 2

Às vezes um pouco mais fraco do que o primeiro filme, outras vezes mais forte no sentido «mais do mesmo», e no final, diversão escandalosa de grande tamanho, se o estilo de humor muito específico de Zoolander, combinando a loucura, a sofisticação, a singularidade bizarra e o absurdo, lhe convier. De qualquer modo, um sucesso total para os espetadores que gostaram do primeiro Zoolander, porque a sua sequela é algo muito semelhante - uma brincadeira total feita por pessoas que têm considerável capacidade de fazer filmes, não são estúpidas, têm um talento para o timing cómico e para todo o tipo de estilos de humor, desde a comédia séria através de caretas maníacas até a todo o tipo de subtipos de sátira e paródia. O filme tem no início um ritmo mais lento, há alguns pontos fracos e nem todas as piadas funcionam, mas, por exemplo, nos últimos vinte minutos eu ria-me quase sem parar. (15/02/2016)

Zoolander 2 is an unbelievably crazy and colourful madness, in which so many familiar faces appear during the 100-minute running time that you can't even keep track of it. The biggest downside was the fact that I only laughed my heart out about twice, otherwise it was more of an automatic smirk, which is a bit of a problem with comedy, but the truth is that I was never a fan of the first movie, so the mere thought that it was a stellar return after fifteen long years was enough to satisfy me. If there was a ten-star scale, I'd give it five out of ten – this way, it's only two stars, but with a plus. In short, a film that despite my low rating isn't bad, I just underestimated its humour and had an inappropriate course that I didn't quite like, but I still digested it, and without pain.

As a big fan of the first Zoolander, I was really looking forward to the second installment, but this? If it hadn’t been for the cast, I wouldn't have given any stars to this pathetic attempt to follow up the first installment. Mind-numbingly boring, nothing works, the script is terrible, the jokes aren’t funny, absolutely zero originality. This is what tea would taste like if you re-used the same bag 10 times.

Zoolander 2: The central plot of the film is who killed Justin Bieber!!! Really? This is probably the biggest failure I've seen in a long time. Everyone overacts and and nobody is funny, on the contrary, I was ashamed of the performances many times. I only laughed about one time and that was with the very first line. Penelope Cruz's English is in places more terrifying than the film itself. Ben Stiller dropped to 0. 1* for the cameos by Susan Boyle and Katy Perry. Poor, barely watchable. 15%. (15/05/2016)

I haven’t seen a cringier comedy for a long time, which I didn’t expect at all. And I must say that I didn’t even expect anything of the Zoolander sequel by default, since the first one years ago didn’t really excite me either. But people change, the times change and I thought that maybe, I could be a little bit more lenient with this kind of humor. But not only did Ben Stiller shoot total garbage, which could have been expected, it was also incredibly cringey, which I didn’t anticipate. When I was watching the movie, I felt embarrassed for him, and that doesn’t really happen often. At least Owen Wilson was there as Hansel and looked like he was actually from this world. (11/11/2016)
