The film has an extremely high gag rate - it's just a shame that so few of them actually work.

As for Martin, no matter how many he times he stumbles, fumbles, burns his balls or mispronounces the word hamburger, he never gets close to making the Clouseau persona his own.

Although it doesn't stand up to the originals, it's not half bad, thanks to a script that has moments of genuine wit.

Without a whit of subtlety, this tired retread induces nary a laugh, only groans of disbelief that we're expected to find such a sorry string of dumb puns, infantile farts, awful accents and endless pratfalls funny.

Perhaps it's time to admit that The Pink Panther series is ready for permanent retirement.

...a slight yet sporadically hilarious update of the classic Peter Sellers/Blake Edwards film series.

This remake, sadly, is far inferior to the original two Pink Panther films, despite the top-notch talent involved.

For now, though it’s a mixed blessing, this seems like the movie Martin deserves.

Ciente de que Peter Sellers é inimitável como Closeau, Martin cria sua própria versão do personagem e, ainda que não chegue perto de se igualar ao original, consegue gerar boas risadas.

A fun and animated return to film for one of cinema's favourite characters, and a treat for the generation that have never seen him before.

Martin's valiant performance, however hamstrung by Sellers' ghost, is mired in a silly, inane plot that keeps the movie firmly grounded.
