"Spends most of its time recycling the original's gags. Once that well runs dry, the film pretty much slaps everyone with a funny accent and calls it a day."
ReelTalk Movie Reviews

1/5
"Pathetic... The lack of imagination and inspiration is stunning."

"It's just depressing to find the picture unwilling to deviate from the broad comedy spectrum, preferring the warm comfort of mediocrity and halfhearted response over a steamrolling comedic contraption that would genuinely surprise."

"The only good side effect here is that it can remind audiences of Peter Seller's truly inspired comic films. If you want to see a "Pink Panther" movie, you've still got to watch the originals."

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

1/4
"Desperate and dreary,
The Pink Panther 2
is an empty-souled star vehicle that hasn't a clue what actual wit and comic timing entail."

"Not a very good film, but at least it's a painless one. It's not irritating -- which, believe me, is a step up."

"Not content with having trashed the memory of Peter Sellers and Blake Edwards once...Steve Martin takes up the task again, with results that are equally bad."

2.5/5
"If you thought the first film was funny, you might get a kick out of this. If it was barely watchable to you, you'll want to run screaming from the theater on this one."
7M Pictures
Kevin Carr
1.5/4
"Wasteful, unneeded sequel to Shawn Levy's already unnecessary 2006 remake/series reboot."

2.5/4
"While
The Pink Panther 2
certainly has moments of hilarity, they are fewer and farther between this time."

"I have seen taxidermy livelier than this moribund mess which further sullies the reputation of everyone associated with this unwelcome sequel."
Beliefnet
Nell Minow
1/4
"A work of slapsticky, accent-y gar-bage,
The Pink Panther
2 is so brainlessly uninventive that it actually seems determined to sully the legacy of Blake Edwards and Peter Sellers's original series."
Slant Magazine
Nick Schager
1/5
"A film in which nothing particularly amusing happens unless the sight of a group of well-known performers squandering their talents in exchange for presumably hefty paychecks strikes you as the apex of contemporary comedy."
eFilmCritic.com
Peter Sobczynski
2/5
"There are a few inspired lines of dialog and a couple of moments where the slapstick actually works, but this sequel to the surprisingly not-awful remake is strictly for kids."
