Good Sequel 2010-03-31

Reviewer: sam spade

The sequels never quite match up to the originals, but this is still a good Steve Martin movie. His made-up French accent and his physical comedy never fail to bring a smile to your face. It's worth watching if for no other reason than to enjoy the great supporting cast.

I Really Like this Movie! 2010-02-21

Okay, so, full disclosure, I worked on this film. I was a stand-in and photo-double for JC and was kindly given a silent bit with SM in the airport. It was the best working experience of my life. That being said, I still believe that I can look at this film objectively. It's a good film. I have really enjoyed watching it and I've seen it several times. I think it is actually better than the first one. The sight gags work very well. Martin does a good job portraying Clouseau and excels in the expressions and physical mannerisms of the character. The group of actors work well together too. The main thing is there is some hilarious stuff in this movie. Some of the sight gags are very clever and inventive. I liked his going undercover in the restaurant and the scene where he investigates at a manor house. But even enjoyed the more subtle stuff. I think Martin is now getting into his stride with this character and I truly hope we get another installment soon. Invariably, we get the comparisons to the original Pink Panther films and the great Peter Sellers. My feeling on this is that they are two very different things. In fact, the last three installments of the Sellers films are the best. Even then the very last one wasn't as good as the one before it. The first one was terrible mildly amusing in places but very staid, A Shot in the Dark was much better than the first, but not quite the classic that the three last Sellers movies were. The two after Sellers died were just dreadful. I choose, however, not to compare these new Pink Panther films with the old ones because it's like comparing apples and oranges. As a film Pink Panther 2 is very funny.

Spkendid! 2009-12-21

I received the DVD in a timely fashion and it was precisely as described in the description I bought it from.

If I remember, I wouldn't hesitate to buy from this seller again!

Merry Christmas & I'll be praying for the miracle of Christ's birth, life, death & resurrection to bless you this year!

Remember, "Jesus IS the reason for the season"!!

good cast stuck in mediocre material 2009-11-26

Reviewer: Roland E. Zwick

"Pink Panther 2" offers a second helping - as if one were needed or wanted - of Steve Martin impersonating Peter Sellars impersonating a Frenchman. In this sequel to the 2006 original (if a movie based on a 35-year-old franchise can be called original), the inept, bumbling, pratfall-prone Inspector Clouseau has signed on as part of a "Dream Team" of international detectives who are hot on the trail of The Tornado, a shadowy crime figure who's been stealing some of the world's most priceless - and heavily guarded - treasures, including the famed Pink Panther diamond.

Obviously an acquired taste, "PP2" consists almost entirely of Martin mugging for the camera, while everyone else stands around smirking and rolling their eyes in corny reaction shots. It's a witless affair, overall, but at least we get to toodle around Paris and Rome some and enjoy the work of Jean Reno, Andy Garcia, Lily Tomlin, Jeremy Irons and John Cleese into the bargain.
