Going into the theater, I was expecting to see a movie that was so foolish it was funny.<\/p>\n<p><i>Zoolander 2<\/i> was the opposite of what I expected. The jokes were terrible and the references were offensive. I was fully expecting this film to poke fun and make silly references towards pop culture but <i>Zoolander 2 <\/i>went a little too far.<\/p>\n<p>There were negative references towards obesity, sexuality, and, above all else, the Bible. As I was watching this film, I reluctantly shook the references to obesity and sexuality off my shoulders. But as a person of faith, I could not do the same for the biblical references.<\/p>\n<p>The worst part about this film was that the biblical references were a large part of the storyline. Throughout the duration of the film, I came very close to walking out of the theater multiple times.<\/p>\n<p>The only thing that stopped me was the fact that I spent money to watch this film. With all that being said, I would not recommend <i>Zoolander 2<\/i> to anyone and instead, would direct movie goer&#8217;s towards any other film playing at the theater.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp;  By Emily Davis  The film Zoolander 2 catches up with former male models Derik Zoolander (Ben Stiller) and Hansel (Owen Wilson) after 15 years of being in seclusion.
