Critics Reviews

Renata Adler New York Times A comedy so uninspired, so relentlessly awful that one occasionally laughs for it-more like a moo or a snort or a gagging noise-just to interrupt it a little or help it out of the room. May 9, 2005 Full Review Roger Ebert Chicago Sun-Times Unhappily, Arkin has been given a script not quite up to the two Sellers-Clouseau films. Rated: 2.5/4 Oct 23, 2004 Full Review Matt Brunson Film Frenzy Alan Arkin is OK as long as you pretend he's not playing Clouseau (actually easy to do). Rated: 2/4 Nov 7, 2021 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Rated: 2/5 Oct 15, 2006 Full Review Ken Hanke Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) Gee, what a bad idea. Rated: 1/5 Aug 14, 2003 Full Review Read all reviews

Petros T The scene with the game of jacks is the only one that displays any sort of zest and is therefore even remotely funny. The rest is a boring, unfunny mess of a film. Clouseau inexplicably goes from bumbling buffoon to ingeniously sly in the blink of an eye, and it's painful to see Alan Arkin trying to portray him. It's not just that nothing in this resembles the previous Pink Panther films (besides the DePatie-Freleng titles), it's also that everything about it is insipid, bland and nerveless. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 04/15/25 Full Review Alec B Truly embarrassing on all fronts, especially for Arkin who gives a performance that is entirely cringe worthy. Probably for the best that this unfunny fiasco remains forgotten. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Truly embarrassing on all fronts, especially for Arkin who gives a performance that is entirely cringe worthy. Probably for the best that this unfunny fiasco remains forgotten. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Mon Dieu! Quelle meh! This film has its moments and Mr. Arkin tries his best. Most interesting bit: 46:52... look at the grave marker, then look up why. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member The most overlooked entry in the franchise. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The inspector must battle thieves in this tired comedy. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Read all reviews
