Ratings and reviews

I put off watching this due to the reviews. Watched it now with no expectations and found it hilarious - they nailed the generations. The new world is exactly how I see the generation portrayed, and I am that generation. I can see however how hipsters in their 30s may have been offended. Precious hipsters hate when the joke is on them although they can dish it out like no one's business. Expect little and you will enjoy this, especially is you are disenchanted with the current state of your hipster/too cool for the norm, exagerated shallow peers in their 30s.

Seriously, you grab chocolate, chips, switch off your intelligence switch and LAUGH! As i enjoyed the first, the second decided to throw in as many cameos and show the world that life can stop for an hour and you can enjoy some old school laughter.

Slapstick humor no longer cuts it in film, this is evident in Zoolander 2, its humor the the late 80s early 90s but set in 2016 so it just comes off as stupid
