Release Date: Monday 30th November -0001

Running time: 89 minutes

Stiller plays Derek Zoolander, the world's leading male model, who is coming to the end of a long and glorious career. Not the brightest spark in the drawer, Derek realises that his time in the limelight is over as he is passed over for jobs in favour of younger, more handsome models. Searching for a new line of work, he's offered the chance of promoting designer clothes for a fashion house, unaware that he's being used as a patsy to kill the Prime Minister of Malaysia. The worlds of fashion and modeling may be beyond satire at this stage, and there's nothing too biting here that will make the industry sit up and take notice. Although Zoolander's targets are a little clichéd, Stiller's one of the best comic actors currently plying his trade, and puts in another marvelous performance here, while there's enough guffaws to be had to make this movie an enjoyable, if forgettable, excursion.
