Synopsis
Clear the runway for Derek Zoolander, VH1's three-time male model of the year. His face falls when hippie-chic Hansel scooters in to steal this year's award. The evil fashion guru Mugatu seizes the opportunity to turn Derek into a killing machine. It's a well-designed conspiracy and only with the help of Hansel and a few well-chosen accessories like Matilda can Derek make the world safe for male models everywhere.

Critics gave it a qualified thumbs up as a goofy send-up of the fashion world that earns real laughs through committed performances and absurd gags. The reservation was that it is thin and self-indulgent. Audiences have warmed to it more than reviewers did.
