Movie review - "Zoolander 2" (2015) **

This very late in the day sequel didn't seem to please too many people but I found it had its moments. Sure, everyone is getting old but there's still a lot of talent on display: Stiller, Wilson, Ferrell, Wiig, etc plus Cyrus Arnold as the newcomer.

I wish Wiig had been given more to do - she's excellent - and feel maybe they made a mistake having outlandish Penelope Cruz as the love interest instead of a straight "normal" woman like Christine Taylor in the original. Kyle Mooney's character is irritating, as is the sheer number of cameos.

But lots of funny stuff, like Wiig, and Justin Bieberm and Cruz. I couldn't understand the hate. Maybe because I saw it at home on TV and not in a theatre or something.
