The Pink Panther (2006)

Pink Panther DVD Review

This product, The Pink Panter Special Edition, was shipped in a timely manner. actually it arrived a lot sooner than I expected, which is awesome. It plays perfectly. The seller told me everything about the product, that it was used, but still had all the original artwork. I am completely happy with the DVD. July 2, 2008

Horrible

Peter Sellers is rolling over in his grave with disgust over this garbage. Sellers "act was natural, Martins "act" is forced, childish, and humorless. I was not able to finish watching it, easily one of the worst movies ever. June 15, 2008

This is a really bad film

This is just about the worst film I have seen. I have only seen it because I suffered through it being turned up loud and stuffed in front of me while I was on a bus journey in Cancun.
There are many reasons why it is awful but here's a couple:
# Steve Martin's accent is rubbish throughout. It's inconsistent. It isn't remotely French and it's not funny.
# In the original films the slapstick was so great because you didn't always see it coming. In this one it's so lazily plotted, acted and directed that you can see and hear the jokes coming from light years away with your eyes closed and your ears plugged. I know because I tried.
# Clouseau was always funny because he was so blissfully unaware of the havoc he causes. Steve Martin is only too aware - and smug about it too which just makes you wanna slap him with a kipper.
# It's awful cos the originals were so good. Please don't watch this film. Do yourself a favour and get the originals from 'A shot in the dark onwards'...!

Stupefying

Stilted, vapid and utterly predictable. And that was just Beyonce. The rest of the movie was even worse. There was exactly one laugh in the whole thing -- the end credits list a dialect coach for Kevin Kline! In one scene he's English, the next he's kinda-sorta French, and in the next he just gives up altogether.

You know how in Jerry Lewis movies you can always tell what the gag is going to be about 10 seconds before it happens? Every time? This movie bests that by about 15 seconds. March 25, 2008

Conceived for teenagers

The hero is a clumsy oaf and unsuccessful with women, spends lonely time on the Internet, but he redeems himself..... clearly the target market for this semi-amusing product is the male teenage crowd who can identify their own problems with those of the protagonist (a similar marketing profile was created for Robin Williams in "Man of the Year"). There are a few funny sight gags but this is corporate comedy from the boardroom. The phony French accents are to die for (not). OK if you have a couple of hours to kill. March 21, 2008
