Critic Reviews

  • Anna Smith, Time Out

    The plot, needless to say, is negligible.

  • Richard Roeper, Ebert & Roeper

    What is the point?

  • Ben Kenigsberg, Village Voice

    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.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    For those who recall Sellers and the role he made famous, 'travesty' seems to be the right descriptor.

  • Geoff Pevere, Toronto Star

    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.

    The Pink Panther diamond is missing.... And the world's greatest detective is solving the case one mistake at a time. Saw it again! Very funny movie! Beyonce was very sexy in this film. When the coach of the France soccer team is killed by a poisoned dart in the stadium in the… More

    Really stupid, Steve Martin can do better than this.

  • Alexander D


    Not the best remake, but let's just say I don't plan on seeing the second one.
