Relax.

We have your Zoolander 2 fix for you right here. This week, Paramount released the final trailer for the sequel that is set to debut in theaters next weekend. I'm not sure if it's the perfect Valentine's movie, but you could do a lot worse.

It's no secret that I'm not exactly the biggest Zoolander fan, nor do I particularly care for Ben Stiller, but I have to acknowledge that there is a pretty massive base of fans for this film. This latest trailer is, as Derek Zoolander himself says at the end, "too confusing." And yet, despite all of that, it is also the most coherent piece of marketing for the film.

Paramount has taken a page out of Field of Dreams on this one. If you make it, they will come. But, will enough people come to justify a third film? I wouldn't hold your breath.
