This movie is so stupid...but in a great way. While watching it, I had a huge, stupid grin on my face because of the charming goofiness that comprises it. If it were released in a world where 9/11 never occurred, it probably would have been ignored and forgotten about. Post 9/11, Zoolander was exactly the movie America needed after such a catastrophic tragedy such as that. Overall, a really funny movie.
