Amazon.com: If 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
Very funny 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.
the pink panther Steve Martin is hilarious! This movie is funny from beginning to end and my entire family thoroughly enjoy it every time we watch it, and that is often.
terrible and steve martin is not funny This is not like the original pink panther movies. I am disappointed. Steve Martin is not funny at all and the entire movie is really badly written and played. Not worth a cent, I'd say.
Pink Panther DVD Review This product, The Pink Panter Special Edition, was shipped in a timely manner. actually it arrived a lot sooner than I expected, which is awesome. It plays perfectly. The seller told me everything about the product, that it was used, but still had all the original artwork. I am completely happy with the DVD.
Horrible Peter Sellers is rolling over in his grave with disgust over this garbage. Sellers "act was natural, Martins "act" is forced, childish, and humorless. I was not able to finish watching it, easily one of the worst movies ever.
