Zoolander 2 takes pains to reference every successful gag you remember from the original, and then embellish them in painful-often offensive, almost always outdated-fashion.
David Sims, The Atlantic

The first film scored a few palpable hits, but the new one barely makes the effort, and the poise of a work like "Funny Face," which both mocked and feted a devotion to couture, seems an impossible dream.
Anthony Lane, New Yorker
Rotten
There are some clever bits and the satire is at times scathing but, on the whole, moments of hilarity are like oases in a desert of tedium. When Zoolander 2 isn't funny, the silliness strains the viewer's patience.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
While all comedies get refined in the editing room, this one feels like it was slapped together there, as Stiller - who also directed - searched for laughs.
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger

How bad is Zoolander 2? It's Batman and Robin bad.
