The Pink Panther 2

quick review: Steve Martin reprises the role of Inspector Clouseau and it is a debacle all the way.

This page has additional observations, other than the ones noted in the main review.

Plot Summary

A series of brazen art thefts have been carried out by a master criminal and a dream team of detectives including Clouseau attempt to catch the thief.

What Worked

A scene where Inspector Clouseau and the English detective try to go one up on each other to demonstrate their powers of deduction, somewhat funny.

Thank you for suffering through this movie so I don't have to, Anand S. I gather Martin's Clouseau hasn't improved since the last PINK PANTHER movie, nor has the writing gotten any better. I like French actor Jean Reno, and so can't conceive why he's wasting his time in pieces of garbage like this.

The only reason I might have conceivably watched it would have been to see Aishwarya Rai in a major Hollywood movie. Sounds like she got treated about as well as any non-Anglo movie star does by mainstream Hollywood! On behalf of my country, I would like to apologize for our film industry - and to wonder why the Hell they can't seem to use foreign actors of Mrs. Bachchan's caliber and looks better. (OTOH, she was good in THE LAST LEGION and BRIDE AND PREJUDICE, though neither are what I'd call "mainstream Hollywood".)

Anand:

Yes, that is right, Martin is desperately unfunny, and all these talented actors are wasted. Yes, the writing is really bad!
I am not a big fan of Ms Rai, but all she does here is to show a bit of cleavage!
