There is a whole pantheon of stars involved in the mayhem, e.g. Jon Voight and Vince Vaughn as Ben’s coal mining father and brother, and Jerry Stiller and Will Ferrel as corrupt fashion weasels, in addition to many cameos involving stars and models playing themselves.  While the plot pretty much centers around the premise that high fashion models are dumb, it does so in such a clever and rolicking way, that all is forgiven.  Let’s face it–now that Tyra Banks has her reality modeling show, we can see for ourselves that models and their mentors are not big on promoting logic and critical thinking skills, especially when acne can ruin a model’s career!  

While raunchy in parts, this movie can actually be watched with the kids, as long as you are ready to recite the lines and crack up with the kids as they watch it over and over.  I give it five stars!
