(1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1   "Despite 'bending it a little,' Steve Martin manages to capture the humorous essence of Inspector Clouseau's character."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Betty Jo Tucker D+ "Of course, the momentum of Martin's silliness can only take the production halfway, and the script just isn't up to snuff in this latest stab at killing the Peter Sellers legacy."   eFilmCritic.com   Brian Orndorf "Clouseau, that erstwhile tireless twit, seems exhausted. "   PopMatters   Cynthia Fuchs 1/5 "If you think there's no possible way that anyone can actually stretch a leaky-fountain- pen-makes- shirt-messy joke for that long, well, dear reader, you are absolutely correct."   eFilmCritic.com   David Cornelius 2.5/4 "...a slight yet sporadically hilarious update of the classic Peter Sellers/Blake Edwards film series."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair 1.5/4 "A ninety-minute movie containing two or three big laughs, another two or three small ones, and eighty surrounding minutes of lazy, misguided, laughless tripe."   TheMovieBoy.com   Dustin Putman D "An endless procession of forced shtick and cartoon-style anarchy that's been watered down into bland, tasteless froth."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider 2/4 "...only manages to conjure up our nostalgic appreciation for the late and great Peter Sellers--this flaccid farce doesn't look pretty in Pink the millionth time around."   Movie Eye   Frank Ochieng D+ "Instead of the perfectly calibrated Sellers-Edwards routines we get hit-and-(mostly)-miss slapstick from Martin and Levy and jokes about flatulence and Viagra."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 1/4 "For those who recall Sellers and the role he made famous, 'travesty' seems to be the right descriptor."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 2/5 "Martin's valiant performance, however hamstrung by Sellers' ghost, is mired in a silly, inane plot that keeps the movie firmly grounded."   Q Network Film Desk   James Kendrick 3/10 "Martin, as we all know, has fine comic gifts, but he's doing a conscientious impersonation here."   Window to the Movies   Jeffrey Chen "Martin sets up several effective sight gags and gives himself a few good one-liners, but he also writes running gags that aren't funny the first time and sinks to the pointless crudity of an extended fart joke."   Pajiba   Jeremy C. Fox "Martin does just fine, and some scenes are pure genius."   Light Views   John Larsen 1/10 "A movie clearly made for (and probably by) people of the retarded persuasion. If you enjoy it, odds are you're missing a chromosome. Or have an extra one, or something."   Planet Sick-Boy   Jon Popick "Where Sellers's genius lay in never overtly playing the clown, Martin brings a bit too much of the wild and crazy comedian to the role."   In the Dark   Jonathan F. Richards "."   3BlackChicks Review   Kamal 'The Diva' Larsuel 3/5 "Steve Martin was able to do what no one had done so far - follow in the footsteps of Peter Sellers."   7M Pictures   Kevin Carr C- "[Steve Martin's] Clouseau isn't all that funny because he's trying too hard in a part that requires effortless stupidity."   Reel Times: Reflections on Cinema   Mark Pfeiffer "[A] desecration of a comedy classic -- not a remake of the Blake Edwards films, it's more like fictional-character assassination..."   Flick Filosopher   MaryAnn Johanson 3/4 "If you can divorce yourself from total allegiance to the original %u2013 or if you have no allegiance to the original - then this is an enjoyable movie with some real laughs courtesy of a modern day comic genius."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan D "This is less like Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards and more like "Ernest Goes to Paris." "   Movie Mom at Yahoo! Movies   Nell Minow 0/5 "...below average in every aspect except one: it -- like almost every other remake in recent memory -- is completely unnecessary."   Film Threat   Pete Vonder Haar 2.5/5 "Although it doesn't stand up to the originals, it's not half bad, thanks to a script that has moments of genuine wit."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline D+ "Steve Martin...isn't quite up to the task...Shawn Levy...lacks the ability to reign in the broadness of the material, and the film suffers because of it."   TheFilmJournal.com (Ohio)   Rick Curnutte D+ "This remake, sadly, is far inferior to the original two Pink Panther films, despite the top-notch talent involved."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten 1.5/5 "Steve Martin should have his SAG card revoked for even considering an attempt at filling Sellers' shoes"   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 3/10 "Steve Martin humiliates himself in thie dreadful reincarnation of Inspector Jacques Clouseau. It's an acute embarrassment."   Modamag.com   Susan Granger "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 29) of 29 OFCS Rating: 21% Rotten Page   1
