Happy Valentine's Day everyone!! I hope you all enjoy your day and tell those important to you that you love them.  With that said, yesterday my family and I saw Paramount Pictures' Zoolander 2 starring Ben Stiller (Meet the Parents), Owen Wilson (The Internship), Penelope Cruz (Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides), Kristen Wiig (Bridesmaids), and Will Ferrell (Daddy's Home). Zoolander 2 picks up 15 years after the events of the first film with both Derek and Hansel coming out of hiding to finally get their lives back together after tragedy tore them apart.  For Derek, he is looking to getting his son back, while Hansel is trying to figure out who is truly is. However, with people conspiring against them every step of the way, Derek and Hansel must trust in each other and in themselves in order to stop evil once again.
So this film was bad!!! It was so stupid and really a pointless sequel.  The first film was fantastic and hilarious, but unfortunately this sequel doesn't have any of the same qualities.  One of the biggest mistakes in this film is the number of celebrity cameos that occur.  For some reason everyone from Benedict Cumberbatch to Susan Boyle wanted to be a part of this film. Though at times it is entertaining to see some of our favorite celebrities, it seems that the writers were so focused on including everyone that the story became lost and confusing.  The cameos do not move the story along at all, but are more of a distraction.  Also, some of the cameos are just ridiculous and at times annoying.  With that said, the film does have its moments, but unfortunately they are few and far between.
Overall, the film just doesn't live up to its true potential.  Though the actors try their hardest to make it work, the film just gets boggled down by the number of cameos and the lack of jokes.  This is one I probably wouldn't recommend, because there are better movies out right now.  So go spend your money on something else and save yourself time and money.

Thanks again for reading!!!  If you have any questions, comments, or ideas just let me know!!!
