"The Pink Panther" is only mildly worth a view. The script's attempt, however, to build a chemistry between Clouseau and Nicole falls embarrassingly flat. Mortimer offers an on target performance as the charming, loyal assistant to Clouseau. Perhaps the only supporting performance that really works on every level is that of Emily Mortimer as Nicole. Reno, on the other hand, offers his usual dependable performance as a dry, observant detective instructed by Dreyfus to keep an eye on Clouseau. Knowles is basically recreating her Austin Powers' role that allows her to look beautiful, sing and pretend to be human. Other supporting players include Beyonce' Knowles and Jean Reno. As Chief Inspector Dreyfus, Kevin Kline may get his sorely needed modest hit, but this is yet another in a string of tired, repetitive performances. Martin, who has always had a gift for physical comedy, performs admirably here but he's unfortunately placed in a film that offers almost nothing original and very little funny.
This PSA is, in fact, much funnier than anything in "The Pink Panther." Have you seen Martin's laugh out loud funny film PSA encouraging people to turn off their cell phones? It has been playing as sort of a "Panther" tease before many films recently. The script, co-penned by the usually insightful Martin, is a tired, hole-filled retread of previously seen gags, stereotypical Clouseau behaviors and Martin's old, but occasionally entertaining, physical comedy and garbled linguistics. In this "Pink Panther" we learn that Clouseau was his usual bumbling self in a smaller England town when Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline) pegs him to solve the murder of a famous soccer coach and the theft of the Pink Panther diamond.

Will it be the first Pink Panther film or maybe one of the follow-ups in the series such as A Shot in the Dark or Revenge of the Pink Panther that will make it to the top of the list? Or perhaps one of the animated TV shows will surpass them all. Detective Clouseau is one of the best movie detectives of all time. All of these movies are classics or at least memorable but one of them has to be the funniest of The Pink Panther movies and animated series. The Pink Panther first came out in 1963 and delighted moviegoers with the antics of Inspector Jacques Clouseau played by Peter Sellers. The Pink Panther franchise has been entertaining audiences for almost five decades.
