The Pink Panther 2 is rated PG by the MPAA for some suggestive humor, brief mild language and action.Ĭartoon and slapstick style humor are the basis for many of the gags in this film. Later he dangles two children over the side of another balcony after they attack him in his apartment. While trying to recreate the sequence of events behind the robbery of the Pope’s (Eugene Lazarev) ring, Clouseau dons the sacred robes and walks out on the balcony where faithful followers mistake him for their spiritual leader. Yet, smudged fingerprints don’t come close to the damage caused by Clouseau’s other faux pas. Unfortunately, Clouseau manages to unintentionally tamper with almost all of the evidence before it can be analyzed. With news cameras rolling and correspondents questioning their every move, the group of law enforcement personnel attempts to gather clues about the shifty crook. However, when the Pink Panther diamond is pilfered from it’s secure case in the French capital, the newly assembled Dream Team congregates instead at the scene of the latest heist to begin their investigation. But when a reclusive art thief named The Tornado comes out of retirement and starts pinching ancient artifacts and national treasures, Dreyfus is forced to transfer Clouseau to a Dream Team of the world’s top detectives.Īccompanied by his sidekick Ponton (Jean Reno), Clouseau prepares to meet with agents Vicenzo (Andy Garcia), Pepperidge (Alfred Molina), Kenji (Yuki Matsuzaki) and Sonia (Aishwarya Rai) in an attempt to recover the Shroud of Turin, a historic Japanese sword and other irreplaceable relics. Awarded the country’s highest honor for recovering the famous Pink Panther diamond, Clouseau has since been assigned by his superior, Chief Inspector Dreyfus (John Cleese), to deal with parking infractions. After taking on the role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau in the 2006 film The Pink Panther, Steve Martin is back on the prowl as the bumbling French detective. This is great! and I cannot wait to get it into my collection. It is a(n almost) violence-free, blood-free, honest attempt at a family film. Very nice! I think, when looking back, Steve Martin's Jacques Clouseau will be remembered fondly by the new generations, just as prior generations stubbornly cling to Sellers' character in spite of Martin's superior portrayal. John Cleese was a perfect Dreyfus, showing us the beginnings of Herbert Lom's trademark twitch, when dealing with Clouseau. I did not miss Kevin Kline nearly as much as I supposed I would. They are two different actors, and Martin has stated to the point of nausea that he is NOT attempting to "do" Sellers' interpretation of the character! As far as the MOVIE goes, it is sweet, funny, and enduring with a strong story, a stronger relationship element, and a great cast. I feel that this will actually turn into a legitimate franchise reboot, if the average movie-goer will stop attempting to compare Martin's Clouseau to Sellers' Clouseau. But the character portrayed by Martin herein has something I never saw in Sellers' portrayal after the second installment.genuine heart. You may not appreciate his style of comedy, but the Peter Sellers-venerated character of Inspector Jacques Clouseau made for the best use of Martin's prolific use of pratfalls, ironic wit, and in your face sarcasm than any other character he has tackled previously. Cheaper by the Dozen wasn't horrible, but he's not Clifton Webb, either. Although his rendition of, "The Out-of-Towners," was amusing, he's no Jack Lemmon. He has faced some pretty amazing obstacles, and he has stood in some pretty big shadows. As I said in my review of the first installment of this line: Steve Martin has walked in the Valley of the Kings. ![]()
