Reviews for Pink Panther
Steve Martin was able to do what no one had done so far - follow in the footsteps of Peter Sellers.
02/24/06
A pale Pink Panther.

If you can divorce yourself from total allegiance to the original %u2013 or if you have no allegiance to the original - then this is an enjoyable movie with some real laughs courtesy of a modern day comic genius.

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.
01/16/09
Enough, already. It's time for an intervention. Steve Martin, you're no longer allowed to work with director Shawn Levy.
02/11/06
The Pink Panther doesn't mess around. It goes south in a hurry.
02/09/06
Top Critic...a symptom of Clouseauian hubris.
02/10/06
The prospect of reviving Peter Sellers' Pink Panther character, Inspector Jacques Clouseau, may not tickle anyone pink, but Steve Martin's version isn't nearly as bad as you'd think.
02/09/06
Top CriticOne has to chalk up The Pink Panther to the good old traditions of Hollywood greed and chutzpah. Nothing this slapdash and badly executed is done for the love of movies.
03/04/06
The Pink Panther moves Clouseau into the modern world while keeping the jokes older than dirt.
02/17/06
As for Martin, no matter how many he times he stumbles, fumbles, burns his balls or mispronounces the word hamburger, he never gets close to making the Clouseau persona his own.
03/14/06
The Pink Painther is more like it.
02/10/06
Well, at least Steve Martin's trying to be funny again.

Trying to fill some huge paw prints, Steve Martin won't make you forget Peter Sellers' Inspector Clouseau, but neither will he make you see red.
02/17/06
There's a fair amount of laughs and a breezy feeling of joie de silliness, even if the finished product isn't good enough to warrant an ongoing series.
02/10/06
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.
04/12/06
The writers and director Shawn Levy also misunderstand comic math: In their world, something that's funny once will be four times as funny if it's repeated over and over and over. Actually, the inverse is true.
02/10/06
At every moment in the movie, I was aware that Peter Sellers was Clouseau, and Steve Martin was not. I hadn't realized how thoroughly Sellers and Edwards had colonized my memory.
