1/10. I only go this high with Stiller because he irritates me less than Kevin James. Still Zoolander is bad comedy with exception of Milla Jovovich who seems to be trying with this bad script.
Improves on repeated watching.then eventually becomes a little mediocre again. When I first watched it I didn't find it particularly funny, but it didn't put me off rewatching it again, and each time I found the lines burrowing into my brain more - What is this, a school for ants?.Magnum! etc. It helps that most people my age know the film in this way too and so referencing it is a source of fun in itself.
Eventually though there isn't much more to be got out of rewatching it and it becomes less funny again. But the quotes live on amongst friends.

Mugatu: Let me show you Derelicte. It is a fashion, a way of life inspired by the very homeless, the vagrants, the crack whores that make this wonderful city so unique.
Trivia: Another family member of Ben Stiller shows up. After the Zoolander commercial at the end the director of the commercial who comes up to Derek is Ben's brother-in-law.
Question: Where is that stream of water coming from on the lower left of the screen, when Matilda is on the ground from being thrown out of the spa?
Answer: It was raining and it was that water from before just running down the semi-sloped road.
