Have you watched Zoolander?
What would you rate it out of 10?

[uote]In New York City, male model Derek Zoolander is at a low point; he is ousted as the top male fashion model by the rising star Hansel, his roommates and colleagues are killed in a "freak gasoline-fight accident", and an attempt to reconnect with his southern New Jersey working class relatives ends with the family rejecting him. Meanwhile, fashion mogul Jacobim Mugatu and Derek's agent Maury Ballstein are charged by the fashion industry with finding a model who can be brainwashed into assassinating the new progressive-leaning Prime Minister of Malaysia, whose policies will prohibit them from retaining cheap child labor in the country. Mugatu hires Derek, whom he normally doesn't work with, to star in the next runway show for his brainwashing plan. It involves Derek being conditioned to attempt the assassination when the song "Relax" by Frankie Goes to Hollywood is played.[/quote]

I love the "freak gasoline-fight accident" scene lmao. It's pretty funny overall, but some of the comedy probably wouldn't be tolerated today.

I think this is the only movie where Will Ferrel is outshined by the other comedic actors. Usually he steals the show.

'Zoolander' was really funny. Saw it in theatres, actually. I was helping my sister move out to college in Denver almost immediately after 9/11, and I took her to the movies my last night in town. Haven't seen it in a while.

My mom's an elementary school librarian-----------she hasn't seen the movie, but she found a sweater with the Derek Zoolander Center for Kids Who Can't Read Good (etc) on it, and she thought that was so funny she bought it without ever seeing the flick.
