STEVE MARTIN SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF 2010-07-27

Reviewer: Gauntletwielder

Both Steve Martin "Pink Panther" movies are garbage. I used to respect Steve Martin. (Before "Shopgirl" - puke!)

Anyone who thinks these two movies are entertaining, is either humor-impaired or has a single digit IQ.

If you have been diagnosed with uncontrollable laughter, I prescribe this movie for you....it will cure that ailment.

These two movies are so bad they make Ishtar look like an Oscar winner.

Steve Martin needs to raise his standards and/or get a new agent.

Steve Martin's last really good movie, was "All of Me" (1984!)

True story... I tried selling my DVD copy of "Bowfinger"...the store offered me one penny for the DVD.

The single best aspect of this movie, is Jean Reno. Period.

TPP Review 2010-05-21

Reviewer: Alice Kingsley

I love The Pink Panther. I like it when my favorite Actor Kevin Kline did the role of Dreyfus. I read the Trivia of The movie and it said that He was considered to do the role of Clouseau but was offered the role of Dreyfus Instead. It is so funny and great and witty. I like the part where Clouseau was signed to be an Inspector, the part where Clouseau knew where The Pink Panther Diamond is, and the part where Dreyfus was hospitalized. I also like the Part where Dreyfus said something about Sudden Death and the miracle. While I watched the movie, I asked myself, "Is Dreyfus a good guy or a bad guy?" But when my mother watched it with me, Dreyfus was a good fella and a little bad because He wants The Pink Panther Diamond and win the Medal of Honor. He was Selfish.

Blu Ray Review 2009-12-08

Reviewer: The Bus

I'm not going to talk about the movie at all, this review is mainly for the quality of the blu ray version. I have watched this movie numerous times on standard DVD, the picture of the blue ray has more sharpness than the SDVD, the brighter colors are more vibrant, but the darker colors, and especially the blacks are kind of smudgy in places. Sound is excellent on the blu ray. If you're trying to decide between the two versions for your initial purchase, buy the blu ray. But I would hesitate to upgrade to the blu ray if you already own the SDVD unless you're a big fan of the movie.

A Decent Remake 2009-11-10

Reviewer: D. Reed

While most remakes fall flat for either being too different or just ripping off the original, this one is unique in that is different enough to be its own. Steve Martin does an excellent job, admirably taking over for the great Peter Sellers. The accent is his own and is very different from Sellers. Though I do like some of the references to the older films like Clouseau and the globe and the trouble his accent can get him into. Instead of manserveant Cato (we live in PC times, though Jackie Chan was considered), we get fellow lawman Ponton, played by Jean Reno, who is a good substitute character. Beyonce is also very good in this, proving, like Queen Latifah, that SOME singers can act. The only character who doesn't get any justice is Chief Inspector Dreyfuss. Though Kevin Kline does a fine job in the role, they've heavily changed how the character was. Instead of going increasingly insane and wanting to kill Clouseau with a passion, all this version does is try and show him up and humiliate him. Though seeing as how this and its sequel are marketed more towards kids than the originals (though plenty of innuendo abound in both), today's parents might find Dreyfuss' deteriorating mental state a little disturbing for their kids. The gags are quite funny, though Clouseau inspecting the room for spies gets and the fart joke is tedious (aren't they all). Christophe Beck does quite well with Mancini's classic theme though I do think its a little over used. While Mancini mainly used it during suspense scenes, Beck seems to use it whenever he pleases.

Trying a bit to hard... 2009-11-02

Reviewer: Chuck Mengel

Im not really a fan of Steve Martin and I think thats why I didnt loved this movie. It was good and Id recommend watching it but it could've been better. It was almost as if they tried too hard to make it funny and the end result was a bit corny, but its worth a watch. I found myself laughing intensely at some scenes
