Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Roberto Benigni would have gone on to win an Oscar for "Life is Beautiful" few years later. The film takes place in French Rivera. Roberto plays a local police inspector who lives with his mother. When Princesd Yasmin gets kidnapped, Benigni stumbled on by accident. The storyline is problematic at times but still enjoyable. Veteran Panther actors like Herbert Lom, Claudia Cardinale, and Burt Kwouk back. Roberto is the son of the original pink panther and he carries on Peter Sellers' legacy of physical comedy. Benigni does his job well as the son of the pink panther with his goofy expressions and physical sense of humor.

It is nearly 30 years since Inspector Clouseau managed to get Maria Gambrelli cleared of a murder charge, and Maria has gone on and have moved to a seaside town. Princess Yasmin of Lugash has come to the town for a holiday with her father, but she is kidnapped, and because of the strong ties between France and Lugash, Chief Inspector Dreyfus is brought back from the dead to find her. He is hampered by the local police officer Jacques and is amazed when he finds that Jacques is Maria's son. He is terrified even though he and Maria are falling in love that Jacques is Clouseau's son and Jacques is showing similar behaviour. Both Jacques and Dreyfus set out to find the missing Princess...Edwards should have left this franchise alone when Sellers sadly passed away, because every Pink Panther movie made since then, have just been horrible smears on the unique humour he gave us in his performances as Clouseau.And this one has to be the poorest (yes, it's even worse than the one that was full of deleted scenes and David Niven was dubbed). Benigni, so wonderful in Life Is Beautiful, really tries to do something with his character. He is so full of life, so animated, but so desperate to be Sellers, which he shouldn't have tried to channel.So despite his best efforts, he cannot do anything to save it. The plot is terrible, jokes beyond stale, and cast members obviously regretting doing a favour for the once brilliant Blake Edwards.When a comedy is released, and doesn't feature a single laugh, its unfortunate. But when a sequel to one of the defining comedies of the sixties is released and doesn't feature a single laugh, and fails to even give the viewer a smile, its a downright tragedy.It's the poorest comedy sequel ever made, and I've seen Mission To Moscow.

This movie looks as if it started out as a serious attempt to revive the Pink Panther series, but in mid-production everyone decided it wasn't going to work out, so they end up going through the motions. The plot is weak-really, Dreyfus ends up being in love with Maria Gambrelli? And the laughs are few.Roberto Benigni is the only person in the movie who shows any enthusiasm, and he is the only one who seems to genuinely try to be funny. Unfortunately, he ends up acting silly, rather than like Clouseau who is a man who tries to act dignified even in spite of all the (unintended) bumbling he does. Still, even Peter Sellers could hardly have done much more with this material.

Now i am a 15 year old and i just bought this movie a few days ago for a trip. I was think "Son of the Pink Panther," can't be all that good. But i was wrong! WAY WRONG! A BIG FAT WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! This film is great i am not a fan of the first few films (The Pink Panther - Shot In The Dark) they arnt bad just not as funny. But the mid 70s ones are fantastic and now this! It was so funny i am still thinking of that line, "Hurry or they cut off my nipples!' it makes my laugh every time! Yes, Sellers is not in it. Yes it takes place ten years after the last one and yes it has a new guy. But it is good and worthy of a rental and even a buy! Not for the 40 year olds and up but for the teens and into the 20s.
