  1. Tropic Thunder (2008)
    "Directed by and starring Ben Stiller, this film satirizes Hollywood and the filmmaking process, much like "Zoolander" parodies the fashion world. Both movies share a self-aware comedic style and feature Stiller in leading roles." Cinemathread source

    "Starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, this buddy cop comedy incorporates absurd humor and industry satire, akin to the comedic tone found in "Zoolander."" 8 Movies Like Zoolander (2001) Television Stats
