1/10. I only go this high with Stiller because he irritates me less than Kevin James. Still Zoolander is bad comedy with exception of Milla Jovovich who seems to be trying with this bad script.
Improves on repeated watching.then eventually becomes a little mediocre again. When I first watched it I didn't find it particularly funny, but it didn't put me off rewatching it again, and each time I found the lines burrowing into my brain more - What is this, a school for ants?.Magnum! etc. It helps that most people my age know the film in this way too and so referencing it is a source of fun in itself.
Eventually though there isn't much more to be got out of rewatching it and it becomes less funny again. But the quotes live on amongst friends.

Derek Zoolander: I'm pretty sure there's a lot more to life than being really, really, ridiculously good looking. And I plan on finding out what that is.
Trivia: When Derek confronts Maury, right before he does the Derelict show, the scene is a parody of the The Godfather: Part II scene where Michael Corleone confronts his brother Fredo, who had betrayed him.
