Audio Revolution
Most movies made from TV comedy sketches turn out to be mildly amusing at best and painful at worst. Somehow, "Zoolander" escapes this curse with surprising zest. Director/co-scripter/star Ben Stiller has a clear handle on the material, an ear for the ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at Audio Revolution

The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
At one point, Derek Zoolander is in a TV commercial, dressed like a mermaid ("mer-MAN," he insists). He swims up to the camera and says, "Moisture is the essence of wetness." That moment has the obvious verbal absurdity, plus the ridiculous image of ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at The Land of Eric (Eric D. Snider)
DVD Clinic ("The Arrow")
Male nitwit supermodel Derek Zoolander (Stiller) loses the "Model of the Year" award to daredevil newcomer Hansel (Wilson).

Flipside Movie Emporium (Rob Vaux)
Reaction to Zoolander truly depends on your state of mind. Some will consider it a tonic for the past few weeks: a light-hearted respite from the grim reality in which we find ourselves. If that's the case, you won't find a better piece of ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at Flipside Movie Emporium (Rob Vaux)
Steve Rhodes
And speaking of people who were probably paid just scale, the movie has a long series of great cameos. Watch for several when Zoolander goes briefly to work with his family in the harsh environment of a southern New Jersey coal mine. My favorite cameo ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at Steve Rhodes

Very stupid, but very funny comedy, which manages to draw you in despite yourself – it’s well-acted, with great lines and several laugh-out-loud moments.Writer/director/actor Ben Stiller created Derek Zoolander for a sketch on the VH1 Music Awards show ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at ViewLondon (Matthew Turner)
DVDActive (Pete Roberts)
Even for a film that had it’s origins in a couple of short comedy sketches, this one really does work. The stupid humour pulled off by Ben Stiller, Owen Wilson and to a lesser extent Will Ferrell manages to raise more than the odd chuckle without ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at DVDActive (Pete Roberts)
Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice
Ben Stiller is the master at playing likable losers in films like There's Something About Mary, Mystery Men and Meet the Parents. Now taking a shot as writer, director and star with Zoolander, the result is a success -- if you like dumb fun.Stiller ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at Film Threat, Hollywood's Indie Voice

Susan Granger
If you love satire, this is for you. Claiming he based his moronic character on a "cross between Jason Priestly and Luke Perry," Director/writer/actor Ben Stiller has created vacuous, goodlooking Derek Zoolander, the world's bestknown male model. He's ...read the complete Zoolander movie review at Susan Granger
