Movie Reviews of The Pink Panther (Special Edition)
Movie Review: Very funny
Summary: 4 Stars
Comparing this to the original Pink Panther movies of Peter Sellers, this will fall a little short. But taken on its merits, it's a very funny movie. Kevin Kline, Jean Reno and EmilyMortimer all give good support to the clumsy Clousseau. And the plot gives Martin many Clousseau moments and gags to work with. A very welcome addition to the Panther series.
Summary of The Pink Panther (Special Edition)
When a star soccer coach is murdered and his priceless Pink Panther diamond stolen France is in an uproar. Fortunately Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin Bowfinger Cheaper by the Dozen) is on the case. He doesn't have a clue but for Clouseau that's just a minor detail. With his partner Gilbert Ponton (Jean Reno The Da Vinci Code The Professional) he careens from one misadventure to the next leaving mayhem in his wake from the boulevards of Paris to the streets of New York. Will he seduce the pop diva Xania (Beyonc Austin Powers: Goldmember)? Will he push Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Oscar? winner Kevin Kline A Fish Called Wanda In & Out) over the edge? Will he catch the killer and recover the diamond? With Inspector Clouseau anything is possible.System Requirements:Run Time: 92 minutesFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre:?COMEDY UPC:?043396117907 Manufacturer No:?11790If anyone could step into the huge shoes of comedic genius left by Peter Sellers as bumbling French policeman Jacques Clouseau, it's Steve Martin. Sellers made Clouseau a true icon of character and comedy in five Pink Panther movies in the '60s and '70s; Martin has arguably already attained Sellers' rank as an entertainment talent, so it only makes sense that he became Clouseau's heir apparent for the inevitable screen resurrection. This updated story of the priceless eponymous diamond purloined under mysterious circumstance and pursued with Keystone Cop-like antics by Clouseau is a frivolous yet winning pastiche of physical gags and riffs on Clouseau's hilariously impenetrable accent. A famous French football coach (Jason Statham in cameo mode) is wearing the stone, set as an engagement ring for his pop star fiance (Beyonce Knowles). But before a packed stadium crowd of thousands, the ring disappears from his finger as he falls dead from a poisoned dart. The wisp of a plot is secondary to the pratfalls of Martin's prim, prissy, and utterly inept Clouseau. He's brought onto the case by France's top cop (a drolly sophisticated Kevin Kline) who wants Clouseau to fail in a scheme to make himself a national hero. Even in a world where jokes about Viagra, flatulence and other familiar sophomoric subjects are required, Martin makes his Clouseau singularly memorable. You'll be fully expecting Clouseau to shatter priceless antiques, mangle his pronunciations (hamburger, anyone?), and prevail in the end, but Martin carries it off, giving homage to Sellers at the same time that he remakes the character in his own image as a comic master. --Ted Fry
