Zoolander 2: Ben Stiller & Owen Wilson
Red Hour Productions
Zoolander has obviously reached “classic comedy” status. It’s a movie that is perfect from casting to writing, sets, pacing, and satire. But when you make a perfect movie, what are people going to expect when you agree to make a sequel 15 years later? Hyped-up comedy sequels are always a disappointment (Anchorman 2 isn’t bad, your standards are too high), but Zoolander 2 was especially disheartening. Kristen Wiig, Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, and Owen Wilson all appear, but none of them say anything memorable. It definitely falls into the category of sequels that really just say “Hey, remember the first movie?”
