1.5/5 - One or two moments of slapstick commanded a mild chuckle, the rest is simply unfunny. Such a stellar cast goes to waste. Peter Sellers must be tired of turning in his grave.
Love Steve Martin & Jean Reno together...Jean should do alot more Comedies!!
No good at all. Just something to watch when nothing to do. The original movies were soooo much better. The comedy was simple, because they were so simple they were funny.

Why do I doubt Steve Martin? Maybe it is because I have been burned by one too many Eddie Murphey family comedies. The family and I sat down to enjoy this and a Hungry Howies Big Pantangle, and I am happy to say I enjoyed them both.

This isn't the smartest or even the funniest comedy of all time, but it enjoys it's stupidity, and invites you to do the same. Steve Martin is charming, and he surrounds himself with a good cast. Including Aishwarya Rai, who i am ready to eclare one of the most beautiful actresses I have seen.
The best thing to do with this movie is to turn the brain off and enjoy. It works as good escapism, but if you put one iota of thought toward it, it will fall apart.
I thought I would never say this but the French Man with the non-french accent was about the best thing in this film. Kind of funny and all but at times a bit over the top........ I guess I should finally watch the originals....
corny yes, but I loved it, its the character and his phony french accent, so dumb that its hilarious
No se salva... Una segunda parte que cae en el cliche de que las segundas partes son malas... No se esforzaron por crear chistes nuevos, sino que repitieron los de la primera, por ejemplo HAMBURGUER.

What is our reward for the collective effort of this prestigious assembly? One of the most dreadfully unnecessary movies in recent memory.full review
The soundtrack makes generous use of trombones to indicate humor.full review
Kids will love it, but this 'Panther' has drifted far from the smart farce it once was.full review
Recycling bins have fresher content than this listless exercise in check-the-boxes moviemaking.full review
For all the obvious cribbing, the filmmakers still seem ill-at-ease with Clouseau's simplistic world view and frank buffoonery.full review
Another Steve Martin comedy, the same old question -- what happened?full review
A work of slapsticky, accent-y gar-bage, The Pink Panther 2 is so brainlessly uninventive that it actually seems determined to sully the legacy of Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers's original series.full review
The actors are let down by the screenplay and direction, which don't really pop the supporting characters out into strong comic focus.full review
