Big improvement over the pink panther 1 . Worth watching it . this movie is a sequel of Peter Sellers Pink Panthers movies ( released in 1963 thru 1978) . Do not try to compare Martin with Peter Sellers and then watch the movie. Steve Martin was great, and he was supported by a wonderful cast. It is not the best comedy movie , it will not blow u away but it has some funny moments like the black commandos coming in and asking for password , reopening of the restaurant scene. Funny and lighthearted movie
Steve Martin (Cheaper by the Dozen, Sgt. Bilko and many more) is back in action as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau. In this second installment in the Steve Martin versions, the Tornado is stealing precious works of art from around the world and a 'Dream Team' is being assembled to track down the Tornado and to keep him from stealing the Pink Panther Diamond. Some of the other actors in the film include: Andy Garcia, Emily Mortimer, Jean Reno, Jeremy Irons, John Cleese, and Lily Tomlin. The movie is filled by the less than coordinated inspectors antics and at times is quite funny. Steve Martin has always been a 'wild and crazy guy' and I recommend this movie to anyone who wants a good laugh and entertainment. Rated 5 of 5 for a good performance by a great actor and comedian.
I never thought anyone could replace Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, but when I saw Steve Martin's version of him, I loved his fresh interpretation of the bumbling Inspector. In Pink Panther 2, Steve Martin's antics, expressions, accents, and demeanor were even more hilarious, and I found myself laughing (not chuckling, as I usually do with comedies). If you enjoyed the first Pink Panther, you'll love Pink Panther 2. I highly recommend it. Also, this blu ray set includes a bonus disc of Pink Panther cartoons. What a nice extra to have on hand!
All good, the only con would be the time to deliver it but it was advised and anyway.
