Steve Martin continues his uninspired performance as the Inspector, complete with an intentionally bad French accent, over-the-top stupidity, and his poor pronunciation of “hamburger.”

| Original Score: 1/4 | Dec 15, 2023

It's unfortunate that audiences won't know until the end of the film that the best part is its opening credits cartoon.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Nov 29, 2020

When attempting to make a movie about a prize nincompoop then it helps if you aren't even more conspicuously dim than your protagonist. Yet on the evidence of The Pink Panther 2, it looks as though there were bumbling nitwits on both sides of the camera.

Martin plays Inspector Clouseau with an almost uncomfortable reverence that leaves the film without a comic edge.

| Original Score: 1.5/4.0 | Sep 20, 2020

Don't expect a monumental performance by Aishwarya, and you'll find this sequel a pleasant viewing.

| Feb 28, 2020

A highly awkward and tepid climax ends things with a whimper.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Jan 31, 2019

It's not a crime to be silly, although the cast of The Pink Panther 2 dance perilously close to committing at the very least a misdemeanor.

| Original Score: 0.5/5 | Apr 4, 2011

Offers more of what was in the 2006 remake, which became a hit in spite of the chorus of film critics who pointed out that the movie was awful and then were roundly ignored by the public, which knows what it likes, thank you very much.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Dec 24, 2009

It's unlikely that anyone over 10 will find much to cheer in this film, and adults will just be depressed by seeing a once-cutting-edge wit like Mr. Martin debasing himself.

| Aug 30, 2009

...more of the film's jokes fall flat than hit their mark...

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 20, 2009

Not funny, and certainly shouldn't be rated a kid-friendly PG either.

| Original Score: 0/4 | Jun 18, 2009

I was not a fan of the first of these new Pink Panther films, but I must admit this time around Martin nails the puffed-up twittery of the character and performs the physical gags well.

| Apr 3, 2009

It's not only a pointless resurrection of Blake Edwards' classic comic franchise, but a formulaic photocopy of its predecessor -- Steve Martin's 2006 remake.

| Apr 3, 2009

There are some beautifully constructed, elaborately inventive sequences of mayhem involving sight gags; then there are the scenes in between, when people talk. These are mostly disappointing.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Apr 3, 2009

Steve Martin reprises his role as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau in this hideous sequel to a boring remake.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Apr 2, 2009

Nothing in this sequel of the remake makes us groan with embarrassment, as several scenes in the first one did

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 22, 2009

Much of the "comedy" in The Pink Panther 2 is a rehashing of the jokes from the first film.
