Zoolander (2001)
7/10
Stupid, but very funny

Warning: Spoilers
Ben Stiller is a uneven comedian: Most of his films are just average (Like "Dodgeball" or "Madagascar") but some of them are pretty funny and quite enjoyable to watch, like "Tropic Thunder" and this one.

I can't believe how stupid this movie is, yet somehow it's pretty darned funny. Ben Stiller can be quite funny...or not, and Owen Wilson I tend to dislike, but he's quite good in this. The two play moronic supermodels who are dueling with their male beauty. Not only are there tons of poses and some great lines but there is also a brainwashing plot about killing the Prime Minister of Malaysia(!)

If you are looking for something that is beyond easy to follow and dumbly amusing than this is probably one of the better examples of both. I've seen it more than once and heck I'm sure I'll see it again before I die.
