Supelice Dreadfully Boring

Organnall Too much about the plot just didn't add up, the writing was bad, some of the scenes were cringey and awkward,

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

adonis98-743-186503 Bumbling Inspector Clouseau must solve the murder of a famous soccer coach and find out who stole the infamous Pink Panther diamond. Steve Martin's Clouseau is hilarious, Jean Reno and Kevin Kline are amazing and Emily Mortimer alongside Beyonce are 2 beautiful but on the same time 2 great characters that win people not only with their charm. As for the jokes? I laughed so freaking hard and to be honest it's not as bad as people make it sound like. (10/10)

mjmt-33282 Casting, costumes, locations, lighting, sets, stunts and everyone that makes a movie what it is are all superb. And Steve Martin and whoever else was involved with the re-creation, script and direction of Inspector Clouseau's character are comedy geniuses. It's so very funny, i think my favourite detail is his voice raising incredulity of (in PP2) why the Tornado suddenly "stops". it makes me laugh just thinking of it. along with the hilarious deliveries of;a kitten? who cares (when Ponton says it may be a trap)i think i'm very good at it (insight into Pope being spiritual)good one the case is closed then i am probably sitting on it (hat)and there is so much more, the couple of seconds scene of Clouseau walking from his taxi to Hotel entrance to meet Beyoncey is perfection. A character of great depth has been created.Watch without prejudice

Python Hyena The Pink Panther (2006): Dir: Shawn Levy / Cast: Steve Martin, Kevin Kline, Jean Reno, Emily Mortimer, Beyonce Knowles: Comic remake about being a fish out of water. Although the Peter Sellers version is classic, this version remains underrated and is a lot funnier than given credit for. Standard plot involves a murdered football coach and the missing Pink Panther diamond. Inspector Drefus wishes to solve the case and hires Inspector Clouseau as a decoy. Often funny but the ending is actually rather clever. Director Shawn Levy handles the slapstick elements well. He previously directed Martin in Cheaper by the Dozen. Martin is no Peter Sellers but he is hilarious playing off Clouseau's well meaning nature. He brings similarities from the Sellers performances while also adding his own brand of physical genius. Kevin Kline as Drefus is a decent foil, wanting to solve the plot but ultimately falling victim to Clouseau's actions. Jean Reno does well as Clouseau's partner, hired by Drefus to report progress yet he grows fond of Clouseau's bizarre methods. Emily Mortimer steals scenes as Clouseau's secretary who counters the standard elements of the role when she becomes an aid to Clouseau during climatic moments. Beyonce Knowles appears so that the studio can have a marketing pitch. Give or take, this version holds up well and given a more uplifting sendoff. Score: 7 ½ / 10

TheLittleSongbird This film is not as bad as Son of the Pink Panther, Trail of the Pink Panther or its own sequel even, but it is a pretty poor movie in my opinion. The music is great though, the title sequence is very entertaining and Emily Mortimer and Jean Reno are good in their roles. However, the story screams of predictability and is rushed, the gags are poorly timed mostly, the humour is often too in-your-face and lacked subtlety and the script is very weak. I liked the locations, but found the editing and direction sloppy. There is a difference in giving a good performance and trying too hard, unfortunately although I do like Steve Martin his over-eager but ridiculous performance belongs in the latter category. Kevin Kline is another good actor, but is saddled with poor dialogue and a lack of chemistry between Martin, while Beyonce is glamorous and sexy but limited as an actress. Overall, could have been worse but not really recommended. 4/10 Bethany Cox
