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

1/5 |
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. Full Review |

2.5/5 |

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

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

3/5 |
For now, though it’s a mixed blessing, this seems like the movie Martin deserves. Full Review |
