Interesting. I think i remember clicking on the webpage before, but did not realize that you didn't create it. Funny as just in the last couple of months i have started creating my own Movie website and trying to put a team together. Trying to do everything myself is impossible. I am creating the site and doing all my own graphic design and trying to do writing, and at some point video reviews. But its a hell of a lot of work for one person.

This is getting pretty terrible reviews, even from people who liked the first one. 22% now on RT.

Spoiler:
Among many other problems, the first had the benefit of a "straight" character (Christine Taylor) to serve as a counterpoint to the idiocy of the fashion world. That was lacking here.
Also,

(I loved the first one, for what it's worth.)

Eh, I liked it. Not worse, not better. More of the same really.
But if I recall, the first one was met with the same reaction and bombed the same way. Of course, it opening right after 9/11 didn't help any. But if you like the first one, then you know what you're in for.

I enjoyed it I knew what to expect coming in, and it was more of the same, the amount of cameos was insane. 6/10 for me

Paramount Peril as “Zoolander 2” May Lose $80Mil, Cause Huge Layoffs, Cash Crunch
http://www.showbiz411.com/2016/02/23...fs-cash-crunch
Paramount Pictures is in a lot of trouble, I am sorry to say. “Zoolander 2” is a big part of the problem. The Ben Stiller comedy may have lost $80 million, according to sources. Marketing alone for the disappointing release may actually come to $90 million. This is possible considering the international premieres, etc.
“Zoolander 2” now has made less money in its first two weeks than “Zoolander” 1 made in its first two weeks in 2001. As of today, “2” has taken in just $24 million. It’s already running about $6 million behind “1” and that gap will widen. That’s a huge disaster because “Z2” was made with the idea that the time was right and it would eclipse the earlier, not successful film. This guess was wrong. “Z2” has done a little better internationally but not much. And in the end, the marketing wasn’t the issue: there was no movie.
(Still no word what effect that had on sales of Vogue. Anna Wintour really went all in on “Zoolander 2,” even appearing in it with spoken lines. Turns out she stuffed herself into a huge turkey.)

That article reads like they're scapegoating the movie.
