| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 30, 2006

The plot, needless to say, is negligible.

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Mar 14, 2006

One 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.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Mar 4, 2006

The Pink Panther moves Clouseau into the modern world while keeping the jokes older than dirt.

What is the point?

Full Review | Feb 16, 2006

The most that can be said for this strenuously bland reconstitution is that Steve Martin was clearly alive during filming. But just how alive, unfortunately, is at issue.

Full Review | Feb 14, 2006

Through its admirably short 90-minute running time, The Pink Panther never made me laugh a single time, though Martin's clever wordplay yielded one or two chuckles.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 11, 2006

As if the curse of the Pink Panther wasn't dire enough, Martin's Clouseau is haunted by more than the ghost of Peter Sellers. He's also being trailed by the old Steve Martin.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 10, 2006

This movie leaves us with the stale whiff of fake nostalgia and something even more odoriferous: the smell of money.

| Feb 10, 2006

It's time to let the Inspector rest in peace.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Feb 10, 2006

If The Pink Panther has any value at all, it's in the way its failure demonstrates the delicate nature of comedy, and the skill of other comedies by contrast.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Feb 10, 2006

You could wander into The Pink Panther for any 15-minute period, laugh a couple of times and leave without wondering for a moment how things will turn out.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 10, 2006

Under his coat, the Panther must be pink with embarrassment.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Feb 10, 2006

it doesn't stink. Au contraire: It's good. Maybe not a masterwork, but good enough to redeem the series and its intrepid, mustachioed twit.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Feb 10, 2006

The trouble is the movie has little to offer except Martin's set pieces, which feel off-the-cuff, and, even in the roughly one-in-four times they work, far too drawn out.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 10, 2006

The Pink Panther is like a pratfall that doesn't work. It should be funny, but it hurts more than it should.

| Original Score: C | Feb 10, 2006

The Pink Panther, while hardly the disaster it might have been, renders the love as labored as the pronunciation.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 10, 2006

It's not quite on the high comedic plane of 'Do you have a license for that moon-key?' But AM-bourg-airs will do. Just ask the kids.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Feb 10, 2006

Well, at least Steve Martin's trying to be funny again.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 10, 2006
