The great cast drags this one out of the mire. The script is a masterclass in verbosity. The only good bits are the Clousseau vs Dreyfus battles they lifted from the Pink Panther movies. The cinematography is dreary and amateurish.

Terrible disappointment. At the time of writing this, the average rating is 8. Clearly, these raters didn't watch until the end. To sum up, without spoiling too much...lots of drawn out uninteresting waffle, interspersed with interesting plot points and characters that were glossed over. I imagine the young kids they hired to write the story had neither the capability nor interest to embed into it any kind of compelling, interesting, or unpredictable character and plot development.
