A look of 'Blue Steel' - that's Zoolander's famous modelling pose.

With the Malaysian prime minister cracking down on sweatshops, the fashion industry fears for it's fat profits and decides that something must be done.

The fashion world is run like an international terror organisation, and orders the PM to be killed - Rather than choose a professional hit-man they decide to brainwash some poor maluable and vaccous sap - Fitting the bill perfectly is the self absorbed top model Derek Zoolander (Stiller).

Zoolander is in crisis himself - a premiere male model, his time at the top is coming to an end thanks to rising blond bombshell Hansel (Wilson) - now he's trying to figure out whether there's more to life than "being really, really, really good looking".

Hansel - where's Gretel?

If you can imagine Austin Powers as a fashion model rather than international man of mystery then you'll start to get a feeling for the film.

Dumb and dumber Zoolander and rival Hansel pour on the one-liners as they gaff their way through, trying to stop the murder attempt. Although the film is based around the singular joke that all models are thick, it does manage to keep the gag going for the full 90 minutes.

The most enjoyable performance is from Wilson, who plays it straight as the extreme sports-loving Hansel. His impeccable timing in the climax elevates the sometimes bizarre material to moments that border comedy genius.

There's loads of cameos to look out for - If you're quick you can spot Victoria Beckham, David Bowie and Billy Zane, but above all it's just a good fun movie that will have you laughing out loud, if not for the whole film then at least for some of the fabulous scenes that are sprinkled throughout.

Don't go expecting brain food - this is just a nice light-hearted romp that is a pleasure to see.
