Derek Zoolander: Male Model (1996 TV Short)
4/10
Mildly entertaining spoof of the model industry
16 September 2013
Warning: Spoilers
Five years before Ben Stiller shot one of his trademark films Zoolander, the character was already introduced in two short films: Derek Zoolander University and this one. It's basically a very short (under three minutes) spoof of a male model who makes up for his lack of brains with an additional pot of vanity.

Stiller does an okay job at the character, but even at the 2:30 mark , this short film feels like it really shouldn't have gone much longer before it would have started to drag. He shows us great body, his apartment, his room-mates, his dance moves and of course his catwalk performances. If you liked the feature film, give this one a chance, otherwise stay away. You're not missing too much.
