A world-famous soccer coach has been murdered and his priceless, legendary ring has been stolen -- a ring set with the stunning diamond known as the "Pink Panther." The French government needs a master detective to solve the crime and recover the gem. But, he's not available, so they recruit none other than Inspector Jacques Clouseau. Who committed the crime: a stunning pop star, a soccer player, a Chinese assassin? - And, can anyone solve the case? Clouseau and his partner, Ponton, must unmask the murderer and keep their boss, Dreyfus, from taking credit for the victory -- all without bringing the French legal system to a screeching halt.

From the witty franchise that Peter Sellers and director Blake Edwards made famous comes a pale offshoot that lacks sufficient tempo, tone and supporting characters to make it satisfying.

I hope nobody misunderstands when I say: Steve Martin, you are no Peter Sellers. And while I'm at it; Shawn Levy, you are no Blake Edwards.

Without a whit of subtlety, this tired retread induces nary a laugh, only groans of disbelief that we're expected to find such a sorry string of dumb puns, infantile farts, awful accents and endless pratfalls funny.

Perhaps it's time to admit that The Pink Panther series is ready for permanent retirement.

...a slight yet sporadically hilarious update of the classic Peter Sellers/Blake Edwards film series.

The plot, needless to say, is negligible.

This remake, sadly, is far inferior to the original two Pink Panther films, despite the top-notch talent involved.

For now, though it’s a mixed blessing, this seems like the movie Martin deserves.

Ciente de que Peter Sellers é inimitável como Closeau, Martin cria sua própria versão do personagem e, ainda que não chegue perto de se igualar ao original, consegue gerar boas risadas.

A fun and animated return to film for one of cinema's favourite characters, and a treat for the generation that have never seen him before.

When it comes to humor, this Pink is extremely pale.
