It's not that they are bad, nasty, or unaware of their ridiculousness.

I thought "Along Came Polly" was pretty good too. Maybe I'd rate it only below "Mary" and "Zoolander". And I LOVED his character in Dodgeball. Though the movie was pretty terrible.

One of my friends in the military said at his base they used to literally watch this movie every single night, and as a result it became his favorite movie.
I think it's kind of like say, Super Troopers (which came out around the same time), in that it doesn't really hold up if you're looking for more than it really is. I really like the movie but totally can see why some don't.

Edelstein:
How bad is Zoolander 2? It’s Batman and Robin bad. It’s so bad that it makes you feel sorry for the scores (literally) of celebrities who show up in cameos, even the ones (Anna Wintour, Tommy Hilfiger, Susan Sarandon, Ariana Grande, Kimye ...) who actively resist your sympathy, whom you maybe want to see taken down a peg. Stiller gets away with targeting low-hanging fruit because he understands chronic narcissism from the inside...
