Ben Stiller addresses critics’ unfair treatment of 'Zoolander 2' movie

Ben Stiller has recently weighed in on critics’ unfair treatment  Zoolander 2 movie.

Speaking with host Sean Evans on the latest episode of Hot Ones on December 5, the Little Fockers star responded to a question about which of his movies “was most misunderstood or treated unfairly by critics, now with the benefit of hindsight”.

To which Ben replied, “I don't know… I mean, look, it's very hard to analyse why critics like something or don't.”

“I'm always surprised when critics love something and I'm always surprised when they hate something because it's so subjective,” stated The Night At The Museum actor.

Earlier this year, Ben discussed his comedy sequel’s box office results during an appearance on David Duchovny’s Fail Better podcast.

“I thought everybody wanted this and then it’s like, ‘Wow, I must have done something bad,” remarked the Greenberg actor.

Ben continued, “Everybody didn’t go to it. And it’s gotten these horrible reviews.”

The Tower Heist actor further said, “It freaked me out because I was like, ‘I didn’t know was that bad?’ What scared me the most on that one was I am losing what I think what is funny, the questioning yourself on Zoolander 2.”

“It was blindsiding to me. And it definitely affected me for a long time,” he added.

Meanwhile, Zoolander 2 only made $29 million against a $50 million budget, per Variety.
