Recently on February 12, 2016, “Zoolander 2” was released starring Ben Stiller as Derek, Owen Wilson as Hansel, and Penelope Cruz as the special agent. The movie is about Derek and Hansel being invited to a huge fashion event in Rome to find that the business has changed a lot from what they remember. The pair discovers some trouble along the way. They run into an agent who needs their help, due to someone who has been killing many famous stars. Throughout the entire movie, it is up to them to figure out how to save the rest of the stars that are still alive.

Many online critics haven taken to comment on the sequel. Empire Online said, “It is fun to take another turn with Derek and Hansel, but they probably don’t have another season in them.”

Overall, it seems as if fans were expecting more from the second “Zoolander” and did not get as much out of it as they had planned. “I lost interest really fast. Within the first 15 minutes I was bored with the movie and had started to regret coming to that specific one,” junior Madison Pierce said, “It was also really confusing. I thought it would have been better.”
