I went to the theater, sat down, and completely blanked out all memory of the originals. Other people in the theater kept comparing Martin to Sellers, but I just pretended like I had never seen the originals. And by the... Read more at imdb.com

Hollywood decision-makers have either no brains or no b#%*s -- or both. The Stink Panther is yet another example of a remake gone south. It takes such gall to defile a classic like The Pink Panther.Who does Steve Martin think... Read more at imdb.com

I knew, of course I knew it couldn't really be anything like the original - The word original in itself tells you something. But I went because I love and respect Steve Martin and thought that perhaps he had some... Read more at imdb.com

While obviously nothing can hold a candle to Peter Sellers and the original Pink Panther, I was pleasantly surprised with this new installment. I went in being very skeptical, but I laughed through most of the movie, and left satisfied... Read more at imdb.com

Don't be swayed by some of the negative reviews. This movie is entertaining, and fun to watch. As has been noted in other posts, Martin is not Sellers, and Kline is not Lom. But you already know that. That being... Read more at imdb.com

I really enjoyed this movie. I expected the worst because of many of the comments here, but that's why they play the game, so the saying goes...There were plenty of laughs and a simple but serviceable plot that held together... Read more at imdb.com

This movie unfolds slowly & tentatively, but picks up speed as it progresses...or maybe I was just too concerned with Steve Martin's interpretation of Inspector Clouseau, and I finally relaxed about halfway through the film. Well, when you're used to... Read more at imdb.com

Peter Sellers was Peter Sellers. Steve Martin is Steve Martin. In the same way, Steve Martin's Inspector Jacques Clouseau is a totally new creation, as uniquely Martin's as the original was uniquely Sellers'. The essential details are the same: the... Read more at imdb.com

He hasnt made a good movie inoh, hell, a long time.
Id like to start a pledge for fellow movie critics to adopt in the future, so if you write about movies and are reading this well, let me just say that Im sorry but hopefully this will make the world a better place: for every bad movie that I have to review, I will go plant a tree, so the time I spent hearing my brain cells exit via my eardrums at the multiplex wont be completely wasted.

This doesn't make "The Pink Panther" a good movie.
It's a bad movie with a few satisfying laughs.

Martins Panther has the former Wild and Crazy Guy doing a phony French accent while trying to track down the Pink Panther diamond, which was lifted off the hand of an assassinated soccer coach during the big game.
Director Shawn Levy is on board for a fun commentary, as well as optional commentary on some deleted and extended scenes and an extended version of one of Beyonces musical numbers from the film.

Though the jokes wane in the third act, and an unfunny sequence involving Clouseau and Dreyfus is tacked on at the end, the movie shrewdly wraps up in just over 90 minutes, making for a mostly brisk and buoyant affair.
Chief Inspector Dreyfus (a perfect Kevin Kline ) is charged with solving the crime, but being up for the Medal of Honor, he can't afford to make any mistakes.

He also seems tired -- kind of like this mediocre movie.
It doesn't help that Clouseau is stuck inside Martin and Len Blum's uninspired script.
