Its most popular credit is the song Beyonce provided for it (I'm not a fan - "Check on Me" is it called?), and most had no idea the song and movie were connected (I also read that Martin's comedic timing slightly saves the family film). Clearly, it can't be as bad as Son of the Pink Panther... can it? I mean SOTPP is really bad; I've heard Peter Sellers (the original Inspector Clouseau) roll in his grave a time or two, but I thought there was thunder outside when I saw this. A then-unknown Roberto Benigni (yup, that wacky Italian who, five years later, would beat Tom Hanks and Edward Norton for the Best Actor Oscar and declare he wants to "kidnap you and make love to you") plays what many suspect to be Clouseau's offspring. Of course, it's up to him to solve the case, which I won't even bother going into detail with. Can't we all, as a whole, agree to never make or support another Pink Panther movie ever again? The Bobby McFerrin musical intro (Don't try to improve Mancini - it should go without saying.) to this crap should have served as enough indication that the genius work of Blake Edwards and Sellers should not be outweighed by a steaming pile of pink poo.

for the whole thing,it was boring,tho some parts were funny,roberto acted funny all the time,just that the movie was too weird,weird..the storys funny,but cant keep up with the atmosphere,and some time you just don't get it at all,like,..its funny,bu...

since im robertos big fan i still happy that i got his dvd when i hv time ill watch it again
oh..and i wonder why MGM just don't have it on the tv,they hv all of the series just dont hv this one D:

Not too bad. But not very good either. The opening cartoon titles with a redo of Henry Mancini's theme by Bobby McFerrin.

Why this series without Sellars must be down to money and film execs. This cointinuation, or new 'Clouseau' is no substitute for the earlier classics. Slapstick has replaced the prior brilliance.

Well, I should have known that no one, not even the great Roberto Benigni, could ever replace Peter Sellers...no one's fault...there was and always will only be be one Sellers...and one Panther...

What was Blake smoking? Roberto Benini?

There are one or two good moments in this film with a hillarious little tribute to Sellers lake falling routine in the original Pink Panther but Edwards clearly produced this film in a vain effort to cash in.... (read more) What was Blake smoking? Roberto Benini?

Alright for a attempt to revive the series, but not as good as Peter Sellars himself. But all in all it's a pretty fun film.

Marginally better than the previous necrophilliac installments. Benigni at least has energy, the script makes some attempt to build Jacques Gambrelli into a new Clouseau and the production looks a little less poverty-stricken. All that said, however,...

Benigni at least has energy, the script makes some attempt to build Jacques Gambrelli into a new Clouseau and the production looks a little less poverty-stricken. All that said, however, this is still a grim, lifeless, almost laughless enterprise, haunted by the ghost of a dead Peter Sellers and reprising many of the dullest gags from earlier episodes. That wretched disguise-merchant pops again, now played by Panther veteran Graham Stark. Claudia Cardinale takes over as Maria Gambrelli, further adding to the incestual air. Dull, dull, dull.

oh my god i can't believe i watched this movie.its one of the worst movies ever and should never been made.but there were 1 or 2 funny scenes but it doesn't make up for the mess.

Thank goodness Blake Edwards gave up attempting to revive the franchise after this one. While the plot showed promise...the casting was just plain poor and it hurt it in the end.
