This is perhaps an unpopular view, possibly even in a minority of one, but Robert Altman's Prêt-à-Porter was misunderstood. It was portrayed as a dud, a flop, a misfire... And why? Because it lacked bite. But Altman wasn't trying to sink his teeth into the fashion industry - - he rather liked it, which no one has ever really come to terms with. And although it's much broader in its approach and humour, Ben Stiller's Zoolander comes from a similar place, taking affectionate pot-shots at a business that can never truly be satirised because it's so insane to start with.
