La panthère rose 2

We enjoyed this film from start to finish. The audience was roaring with laughter at all the right times. Money & Time well spent one can't ask for more. Thanks for the entertainment to all those who had hands and ideas in the film.Keep making films. Helpful info: Get there early to get your popcorn/treats and beverages you don't want to miss any bit of it. I find if you sit up higher in the audience one's eyes relax and are able to take in the whole film without feeling you are pressed against a window shield in a smart car. 10/10 STARS. I do hope parents will convey that stunt people were used and if those things ever happened there could be deadly consequences.

Again the Pink Panther with Steve Martin as the inept , botcher inspector . Three important burglaries shock Governments of Britain, Italy and Japan where are robbed the Japanese Imperial sword, the Great Bill , and Shroud of Turin prompting governments to set up a detective 'dream team' to resolve these crimes supposedly committed by a criminal named 'Tornado'. France there are a great mayhem for the robbery of his ¨Pink Panther¨ an enormously expensive diamond and assigns bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau, his assistant Gilbert Ponton (Jean Reno), and Secretary, Nicole (Emily Mortimer), to this issue . Although Chief Inspector Dreyfus (John Cleese replacing Kevin Kline)from the Surete would much prefer seeing Clouseau issuing traffic tickets. The team, consisting of detectives from Britain (Alfred Molina), Japan (Matsuzaki), and Italy (Andy Garcia), and Sonia Solandres (Aishwarya Ray) who attempts to woo Clouseau with shady aims . They travel to Italy where 'Tornado' reportedly inhabits , being the main suspect an aristocrat (Jeremy Irons). This is where they will face their worst mission . Bungling Inspector Clouseau hasn't clues but it doesn't mind . He along with his helper Gilbert Ponton are going into disgraces, mishap , botches and wreak havoc from Paris to Rome. Then the international dream team is humiliated and newspapers publicize: ¨ Bungler Clouseau a disgrace, entire nation loses panache, French detective idiot ¨ .

The film gets entertaining and fun with hilarious moments here and there and never slowdown although contains others ridiculous and disappointing . The picture takes parts from previous entries Sellers' movies (Pink Panther, Shot in dark,The return,revenge,Panther strikes again). As Steve Martin struggles with two kids imitating Sellers and his Kung Fu fighting with Cato -Burt Kwouk- . Steve Martin combines splendidly his comic talent at his peak doing a witty spoof of the absurdities of Peter Sellers character. Evolves famous costars as Alfred Molina, Andy Garcia , John Cleese , a gorgeous Idian star as Rai and many others ; furthermore a magnificent opening cartoon titles. As always lively and jolly music ( arranged by Christophe Beck ) by the great Henry Mancini. Several chuckles and gags ,the result of which is a funny film . Film gets memorable occasion for amusing and entertainment. This sequel is better than Steve Martin's former entry .

The only person connected to this movie that showed any sense has to be Kevin Klein, who did not reprise his role as Dreyfus this second time around. Watching this movie, you have to wonder about the sense of everyone involved, from the actors to the director. The script is absolutely terrible - there's barely a plot here, and it moves at an agonizingly slow pace that will show even feeble-minded audience members that there's not much here. But I think Martin has to accept much of the blame - he co-wrote the script, and his various pratfalls show absolutely no comic timing or comic surprises - you'll see just about every gag before it actually happens. The whole movie actually makes the original remake look good, and that was a terrible movie!

OK after reading through a few pages of these so-called "reviews" I gotta say this, Peter Sellers is dead, get over it.

He has been dead for longer than a billion people has been alive, and most wont remember him or even know about his Pink Panther movies, so stop comparing them.

If you can't watch the movie without bias to a guy who has been dead for nearly 30 years, then PLEASE don't bother posting a review, 10 pages of "Steve Martin is not Peter Sellers" don't review a movie.

OK rant over, for the review.

The movie is actually both quite good and quite fun for someone who has never seen more to The Pink Panther than the cartoon, now I'm not gonna lie, it's not a super-box-office-hit or anything, it wont make the Top10 or even Top50 list, but it's definitely not a 1 or a 2 or any of these things the Peter Sellers fan boys are giving it.

If you go in expecting some fun comedy and without previous expectations concerning past movies you will not be disappointed, and if you are a Steve martin fan then it will get a bit better than that.

True to the first installment, The Pink Panther 2 begins with much promise by way of Inspector Clouseau's own brand of semi slapstick humor, loses its way somewhere around the middle, and then finds it again to round off a fairly watchable movie. As far as humor is concerned, one gets the feeling that there is an overlap of far too many elements – the stereotypes, the action sequences, the warped logic, the karate kid family create sequences that are delightful but in certain instances a trifle too much. Good to see Aishwariya in a substantial role, not the least towards the end. The ending is definitely not guessable, though I am not sure whether it is entirely logical. Well, all is fair in Clouseau's end-justifies-the-means-and-hilarity world
