Here is the thing - too many times I have made a mistake to watch a film only based on it's IMDb rating or reviews.
This crucial piece of information that is missing here is:
- who is rating/reviewing the title?
- which other films did the one love/hate?
That is why I want to give some information about me before giving my two cents on Zoolander2:
- as a kid I loved Mel Brooks films, Hot Shots Franchise, Jim Carrey Works...
- I love brother Farrelly comedies
- I enjoy most of Ben Stiller works (Cable Guy, Tropic Thunder...)
Now, with this information in mind, we can proceed:
In spite of bad ratings I chose to watch this one, and I didn't regret it. It is a well crafted over the top comedy with some clever and satirical gags.
Because of the fact that it's over the top - from start to finish, I don't have any problems with the story.
I guess it just depends on the mindset and maybe the mood. Both me and my wife had many laughs during the whole film.
Was it predictable? Yes. But I wasn't expecting it to be any different :)
I hope this helps.
Peace out.
