"Let me bring you up to speed. We know nothing. Now you are up to speed." Thus is the bumbling, deadpan persona of Inspector Clouseau, as re-invented by Steve Martin, best summed up. In this sequel to the 2006 remake of the classic Peter Sellers films, Martin gets crisper direction and a smarter script than he did the first time out. Martin, to his great credit, has never been afraid to make himself look foolish or to take pratfalls--and if the viewer finds these remakes to be less satirical than the original Sellers films, he will still be letting our great laughs and chuckles through the course of the film. And what a cast! Martin is joined by John Cleese, Jeremy Irons, Lily Tomlin, Jean Reno, Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai, Emily Mortimer, Alfred Molina, and Andy Garcia--all of whom seem to be having a delightful romp--a feeling that’s contagious. The story picks up where the last film ended, with Clouseau’s having saved the precious Pink Panther diamond in Paris. Since then, Clouseau has been reassigned to parking-ticket duty, to keep him off the frayed nerves of Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Cleese). But a band of international thieves is wreaking havoc on the world’s treasures, and, before you can say minkey, the priceless Pink Panther goes missing, again. If plot’s a bit predictable, it’s no matter, since the phun is in the haplessness of Clouseau and the rings of nuclear fallout that surround him. And you may never pronounce hamburger the same way. Evair!--A.T. Hurley

laugh out loud funny
By wisdomstar
When you can sit by yourself and watch a movie and laugh out loud at even parts of the movie - that's a good movie. I rented this one because of all the bad reviews. I had to see it - Martin, Reno, Cleese, Molina, Garcia, Rai - somewhere I figured something in it had to be funny. What I discovered was that lots of it was funny - plus they finally got it right with the anticipation build-up, which was a great deal of the fun in the Sellers original. When Steve Martin heads for the wine, you think, 'oh no', and you are not disappointed. For me, this is definitely a keeper that I will want to watch again when I need a good laugh, so I bought it.

Pink Panther 2
By A kids review
As the self-important, supremely incompetent, and impenetrably-accented Inspector Clouseau, Peter Sellers created one of the most memorable comic characters of modern times. Steve Martin is a very funny guy too, that's not enough to redeem The Pink Panther 2's uninspired script and tired gags. In the second installment starring Martin, Clouseau is enlisted into a team of super detectives in order to track down some priceless cultural artifacts that have been purloined by a rogue named the Tornado. Like its predecessor, The Pink Panther 2 is a "beumb"; it's aimlessly plotted and emphasizes lame slapstick gags at the expense of the considerable talents of Martin, John Cleese, Lily Tomlin, Jeremy Irons, and Aishwarya Rai, among others.

Love it!
By Strider
I saw this movie in theatre and couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD. I've probably seen it 5 times now and I still enjoy watching it. I love the sense of humor!!
