Highly Overrated But Still Good

It really made me laugh, but for some moments I was tearing up because I could relate so much.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Brilliant from beginning to end. Steve Martin is great as inspector closseu. Pure perfection! The design of the the set and the colors are magnificent and I think the actor play really good too. Especially Dadada..Don Corleone. Marvelous jokes, excellent jokes, great fun from beginning to the very very end. Thank youI cant wait to see Pink Panther vs Johnny English!!

In the tradition of most sequels go then this 2009 movie isn't fully as entertaining or as fun as the first movie. Why? Well it was just lacking an abundance of gags and slapstick comedy. It was as if the air had leaked from the project prematurely.The story in this second movie just wasn't fully up to par with the storyline in the first movie. That being said, don't get me completely wrong, it is still fun enough, it was just lacking a crucial comedy element.Steve Martin is still nailing the role as inspector Clouseau, and Jean Reno doing equally well. Now as funny as John Cleese is then he just wasn't filling out the shoes left by Kevin Kline. As for Andy Garcia and Alfred Molina then they just weren't shining in this movie. Jeremy Irons, however, was really fabulous."The Pink Panther 2" is a mediocre comedy that really didn't bring anything new to the genre, nor to the legacy of Blake Edwards. As such it scores a mere five out of ten stars rating from me.

Tornado has stolen many of the world's treasures. A dream team of detectives is recruited to find the thief. Chief Dreyfus expects to be picked but they want Clouseau (Steve Martin). Gendarme Ponton (Jean Reno) is his sidekick and his assistant Nicole Durant (Emily Mortimer) is now his secret girlfriend. Dreyfus takes charge of the Pink Panther diamond and it gets stolen. The dream team with Italian Vicenzo Brancaleone (Andy García), British Randall Pepperidge (Alfred Molina), Tornado expert Sonia Solandres and Kenji Mazuto arrives in Paris. Mrs. Berenger (Lily Tomlin) tries to teach Clouseau some simple manners.I've never found Steve Martin's fake accent that funny. The movie has even more fake accents than before. I don't find many things in this movie funny. I love Martin and I don't hate the attempt. I'm just disappointed. The new franchise still misses Cato. In this one, they try to replace him with two little kids. It's not the same thing. Jean Reno is still not funny. The unfunny parts of the movie are the only compelling things. The romance with Nicole and the actual investigation kept me watching but that's not the point of a Pink Panther movie. It's suppose to be funny.

Yes, I was drunk when I saw this movie, and I enjoyed the experience. That doesn't say much about me as a person and it equally doesn't say much for this movie. So while I found enough of the jokes to be funny thus enjoying the movie, I was also having cognitive difficulty on account of 100 proof rye whiskey. They list the alcohol content on a bottle for good reason- alcohol is a deadly poison, it can kill you. Weed is not going to kill anybody, weed is a saint, but booze, oh brother let me tell you, booze kills. To my credit I was not high on glue or paint, which is something I think anyone should be proud of. We will each of us die inside of our bodies, that's how it ends.
