The Pink Panther 2 movie stills
Reviews provided by RottenTomatoes
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Hoary slapstick routines, invariably rushed, are all there is in The Pink Panther 2. Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: Costars John Cleese, Jean Reno, Alfred Molina, Andy Garcia, and Jeremy Irons look either bored or desperate, gasping for laughs in an airless screenplay. Read more
Joe Morgenstern, Wall Street Journal: The soundtrack makes generous use of trombones to indicate humor. Read more
John Hartl, Seattle Times: Alas, the second time proves no charm for The Pink Panther 2, Steve Martin's latest flimsy attempt to resurrect Sellers' bumbling Inspector Clouseau for the 21st century. Read more
Keith Phipps, AV Club: The Pink Panther 2 plays like an undeserved victory lap for a series that only limped to the finish line the last time. Read more
Bill Goodykoontz, Arizona Republic: Martin is such a likable personality it's tempting to say he makes the movie worthwhile. Sorry, that's too tall an order for anyone. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: At no point in Pink Panther 2 does credible screenwriting or apparent direction allow for the sensation of spontaneity. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: There's a sort of desperation at work here. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: In The Pink Panther 2 the cast sprints way, way out ahead of the material, and miles ahead of the director, Harald Zwart. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: For all the obvious cribbing, the filmmakers still seem ill-at-ease with Clouseau's simplistic world view and frank buffoonery. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: Martin has a few inspired moments but in order to get to them you have to wade through a mosh pit of unfunny gags. Read more
Tom Long, Detroit News: Bottom line: Any laugh's a good laugh these days. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: The Pink Panther 2 provides genial chuckles, but it's never excitingly rude. Read more
Amy Nicholson, I.E. Weekly: Even when Martin plays the fool, he commands respect; damned if he isn't committed to his dense detectivery, sneering French accent, and prim four-button suit jacket Read more
David Germain, Associated Press: There are chuckles, maybe even a belly laugh or two if you're in a charitable mood. But the movie's mostly a waste of time and talent. Read more
Ernest Hardy, L.A. Weekly: Until that storied team comes together, the film is a dreary checklist of pratfalls, wan double entendres, and frantic, unfunny set pieces. Read more
Joe Neumaier, New York Daily News: None of it is memorable, though the audience it's aimed at will giggle at the adults gone goofy. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: There's a difference between kid-friendly and just regular old dumb. Read more
Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: ...somewhat less of a desecration of the memory of Peter Sellers than Martin's first outing as the bumbling French detective. Read more
Steven Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer: Although comic mayhem follows Martin's Clouseau everywhere, none of it is particularly funny. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: The actors are let down by the screenplay and direction, which don't really pop the supporting characters out into strong comic focus. Read more
Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: Wasn't it bad enough the first time? Read more
Stephanie Zacharek, Salon.com: What is our reward for the collective effort of this prestigious assembly? One of the most dreadfully unnecessary movies in recent memory. Read more
Peter Hartlaub, San Francisco Chronicle: One can only hope that something good is coming from all the bad movies that Steve Martin has been appearing in. Read more
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Recycling bins have fresher content than this listless exercise in check-the-boxes moviemaking. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: Another Steve Martin comedy, the same old question -- what happened? Read more
Derek Adams, Time Out: Martin fumbles it from the off. And that, in a nutshell, is reason enough to avoid this as one might any other calamity. Read more
Christopher Orr, The New Republic: [I]f half-hearted remakes of fondly remembered films (and their still more lifeless sequels) are one of the most acute ills currently plaguing Hollywood, [Steve] Martin is arguably the primary vector by which the malady is transmitted. Read more
Todd McCarthy, Variety: Serves up enough goofy pranks and fractured wordplay to keep the series purring along. Read more
Michael O'Sullivan, Washington Post: Plays like a series of disconnected, hit-or-miss skits in a cut-rate Saturday Night Live. Read more
