Dies und das:

Ben Stiller wrote the part of Hansel specifically for 'Owen Wilson' and said that no one else was even considered for the role.

Pannen:

Abfolgefehler: When Zoolander is walking in the graveyard with the famous hand model, they pass the same tombstone twice.

Dialogzitate:

[first lines]
(Announcer): And here in Malaysia, there is an almost overwhelming sense of euphoria as the newly-elected prome minister has given this nation a gift of hope promising to raise the substandard minimum wage and end child labor once and for all. Already considered a living saint he has become this small country's greatest hope for a thriving future in the new millennium.

Man It's Exhausting

Derek (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) are the worlds greatest two models. And nobody in the world could play them quite like Stiller and Wilson. Stiller was also a writer and the director of Zoolander and knows how to put together a movie.

While the movie often focuses on Derek and Hansel out modelling each other, I believe the real contest was off screen being played out on screen between the two. This being who could play the more sarcastic and larger than life model. Stiller may win this, but the sheer arrogance of Wilson's on screen demeanor tips the scale in his favour for me. The two work together as well as any two comedy actors I can remember.

This is far from Stiller's best work however. It lacks a little depth in the script, and crawls along a little too slowly at times. Having said this it is still well worth a look and should give you plenty of laughs providing you appreciate the Stiller Wilson combo.
