 Zoolander 2 - It is Utterly funny.. What more reason does anyone want??

 We all have had a dream (or thought) at least once in our lives that we will get to kill Beiber or see him get killed. Zoolander 2 starts off with Beiber being butchered by a biker gang. The only thing that connects his death with a series of others is that all these celebrities give Derek's blue steel look before dying. So the CIA aims to track down Hansel and Derek. However, fate plays a rough hand in both their lives and they pretty much are in the wilderness. The movie features some of the funniest flashback sequences and goes about its mission of making us laugh without much effort. They get a chance to redeem their lives when they are invited for a prestigious fashion event in Rome. Zoolander sees this as a chance to reunite with his son separated from him due to his inefficient parenting skills and a super funny reason. 




Penelope Cruz plays a CIA agent who wishes to use their help to find the mystery behind the celebrity killings. Does Zoolander reunite with his son? Do Hansel and Derek reclaim their glory? Do they catch the celebrity killer? Answers to these questions form the rest of the plot. 


 
Ben Stiller as Derek Zoolander kills it. His combo scenes with Owen Wilson work big time. The movie features some of the funniest lines like "I miss not knowing things with you" and "Malalalalalala". Also the scene where they try to test the Magnum is a hoot. Another hilarious scene is the origin of Adam, Eve & Steve. The movie is idiot humor at its peak and leaves us in splits. Will Ferrell returns as Mugatu and becomes the sole scene stealer from his entry. 

Highlights
  • Derek and Hansel's dumb moments 
  • Hansel 's new family 
  • Derek meeting his son for first time 
  • Adam Eve and Steve 
  • Mooo Ad Campaign 
  • Mugatu 
The entire movie works as a comedy.

Minus Points

None. As long as a comedy makes us laugh it has no problems. Overall Zoolander 2 works big time and is the funniest movie in a long time. 

BottomLine

Just because Deadpool was awesome that doesn't mean that the movies that released along with it suck. Zoolander 2 like its predecessor has not been appreciated by the people upon its release but it is bound to become a cult favorite in the coming years. Ben Stiller, you rock man!!!

DADDY'S HOME - 'Fairly-Funny' for the 1st hour & 'Extremely - Funny' for the remaining time

A guy gets married to a woman with 2 kids and lives happily with them. He is slowly trying to convince his step-kids and make them love him like their own dad, who by himself is a very sweet person, whom no one can hate. As he progresses slowly and is almost at the verge of being victorious, the biological father of the children, who by chance is more muscular and better than their stepdad in every aspect and wants his family back.....!!!

Can there be a more interesting premise for a family comedy-drama, than this one?  Well if you feel so, this is what the latest Will Ferrell-Mark Wahlberg starrer "DADDY's HOME" is all about.


Will Ferrell takes up the role of Brad - the step dad, Linda Cardellini as Sarah - the mother and none other than Mark Wahlberg as Dusty - the real dad, and we have Scarlet and Owen as Megan & Dylan - the kids respectively. Apart from that, the other notable performances include, Hanniball Buress as Griff, the Handyman, who works in completion of the comic relief of the film. Having mentioned all these actors, their performances have been very notable. They have portrayed a family in a realistic and beautiful manner and the friction that Ferrell and Wahlberg carry against each other work well in favour of the film.

The comedy (well that's what the film is all about) has worked very well in favor of the film. Be it the 'Racist' sequence, the 'Bike' sequence, the 'Woodhouse' sequence, the 'Fertility' doctor sequences or the 'NBA Game' sequence- they have all worked out really well. But what nails the "Rib Tickling part" is the last 30 mins of the film and the climax. Especially the part where Mark Wahlberg himself becomes a stepdad as an irony and his competitor (SURPRISE :P), just bursts your lungs due to laughter.


Having said good things, there are a few spoilers as well.. The first 60 mins of the film is kinda dry. Even though the comedy sequences are lined up they just entertain you here and there but fail to entertain you throughout. The chemistry between Ferrell & Wahlberg, considered to be the biggest USP of the film, works against it at times throwing a psychopathic light on Wahlberg. Even though that's what its meant to do, that's not the Wahlberg we've grown up seeing on screen. But having said all this, the last 30 mins takes you on a roller coaster ride and makes the movie an enjoying experience.

Daddy's Home is just an extremely funny movie with a damn interesting premise which could have been narrated better in the 1st half but is matched for in the 2nd half making it a feel good and a memorable movie.
