Clear the runway for Derek Zoolander (Ben Stiller), VH1's three-time male model of the year. His face falls when hippie-chic Hansel (Owen Wilson) scooters in to steal this year's award.

A harmless movie, despite the fact that Stiller directs himself.
Sure, it has its share of silly moments, but some are actually quite funny.
As for the plot, well, it's rather predictable (good guy gets the bad guy) and the characters are deliberately grotesque (come on - Ben Stiller - a model?!?).
The video transfer is very good. There are no compression signs and the colors are nicely saturated, which adds a lot to the colorful atmosphere of the movie.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is ok. The surrounds are used occasionally, but most of the action comes from the 3 front speakers.
The menus are animated with sound.
The extras include a commentary, 5 deleted scenes, 6 extended scenes, some funny outtakes, a music video and a picture gallery.
Bottom line - if you can stand the sight of Stiller (looking sillier than usual) for an hour and a half, give this movie a try. Otherwise - avoid.

A childish movie, fun at times, but mostly i considder this to be something you watch on a rainy afternoon when there's nothing else to do...
