Zoolander
Zoolander is one of the greatest films of all time.
When I sold my Xbox years ago I accidentally left my copy of Zoolander on DVD inside and I’ve been heartbroken ever since.
So many hilarious, laugh out loud moments even on my trillionth rewatch.
“What is this? A center for ants? How can we be expected to teach children to learn how to read... if they can't even fit inside the building?”
Matilda talking about how she was the fat kid…
Derek: “Ew.”
“I can Dere-lick my own balls, thank you very much.”
And so much more I couldn’t possibly fit into this.
I love the satire on the modelling industry and high fashion.
Derek is so dumb but lovable, I love the bromance between him and Hansel. I wish there were more film with Stiller and Wilson.
Mugatu is a perfect villain can’t believe he brainwashed Derek to kill that claymation dude.
Gross Donald Trump cameo.
All in all a perfect film.
