9 Reasons Zoolander 2 Is A Disappointment (And 2 It's Not)

9 Reasons It's A Disappointment

9. Kristen Wiig's Role Is Mostly Pointless

Kristen Wiig appears in Zoolander 2 as the villainous Eastern European fashion mogul Alexanya Atoz, and marketing largely played-up the idea that she would be the movie's primary villain. However, Wiig's role is surprisingly small throughout: she makes the most of it with a hammy accent and some hilarious mouth movements, but her screen time is chopped up and spread thinly, failing to establish much of a villainous presence as a result. Plus, once Will Ferrell's Mugatu shows up, she's pretty much shoved to the sidelines. Disappointing considering the effort that's clearly gone into her ridiculous make-up job, and Wiig's obvious chops as a performer.
