Zoolander - 2001

Derek Zoolander is one of those guys you just love to roll your eyes at. For me, I rarely find myself attracted to just random good looking people. People don't BECOME good looking to me until I see their insides too.

The plot of zoolander is basically that Derek is a model living with 3 other models in a steel-brick apartment. After a "gas-fight gone wrong", Derek ends up the sole survivor of the group and decides to retire from modeling. The one designer who never wanted him before decides he has to have him now and Derek decides to UN-retire. As he prepares for the biggest show of his career (and his comeback), derek realizes that he's been conned into thinking he's the star of a fashion show - and instead he's been hand-picked to assassinate a political figure in front of everyone at the show.

I do looooove watching how stupid Ben Stiller's character is. I love how he plays off Owen Wilson as well as he does and I giggle my rear-end off at all the stupid jokes ("eugooglizer?") and I still find it hysterical when "hansel" and "derek" try and remove the files from Maury's computer ("the files are IN the COMPUTER!"). Zoolander is a spectacular way to spend an evening when you're looking for something light - and something that makes the corners of your mouth twist upwards a little. :)
