The Pink Panther Reviews
Lethargic, limp and lacklustre.
| Original Score: 1.5/5 | May 3, 2023
For every mildly entertaining gag that sticks, there's a painfully unhumorous one to match.
| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 21, 2020
Kevin Kline may get his sorely needed modest hit, but this is yet another in a string of tired, repetitive performances.
| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 20, 2020
It has some interesting riffs on French/American clichés, but it isn't interested in creating something other than a string of gags.

The best that can be said about it is that Kevin Kline is note perfect as the smarmy, scheming Chief Inspector Dreyfus and his undisguised contempt for Clouseau.
| Original Score: 4/10 | Apr 25, 2011
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.
| Original Score: D+ | Apr 20, 2009
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.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Nov 20, 2008
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.
| Original Score: 1/4 | May 30, 2007
All of [Martin's] hard work does pay off

Perhaps it's time to admit that The Pink Panther series is ready for permanent retirement.
Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Sep 27, 2006
...benefits substantially from Martin’s agreeable (and frequently hilarious) turn as the iconic central character...
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 26, 2006
The plot, needless to say, is negligible.
| Jun 24, 2006
This remake, sadly, is far inferior to the original two Pink Panther films, despite the top-notch talent involved.
| Original Score: D+ | May 13, 2006
For now, though it's a mixed blessing, this seems like the movie Martin deserves.
| Original Score: 3/5 | May 12, 2006
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.
Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 14, 2006
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.
| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 12, 2006
When it comes to humor, this Pink is extremely pale.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 24, 2006
Martin's valiant performance, however hamstrung by Sellers' ghost, is mired in a silly, inane plot that keeps the movie firmly grounded.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 18, 2006
