When the coach of a French soccer team is killed, his ring featuring the legendary Pink Panther diamond goes missing. Luckily, Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline) has a plan: assign his most intelligent, most driven officers to track down the thieves in secret, while publicly assigning the bumbling Inspector Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin) as head of the case. Clouseau seems hopeless, until his various mistakes and misjudgments miraculously put him on the real killer's trail.

Critics Consensus

Though Steve Martin is game, the particulars of the Inspector Clouseau character elude him in this middling update.

The plot, needless to say, is negligible.

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.

One has to chalk up The Pink Panther to the good old traditions of Hollywood greed and chutzpah. Nothing this slapdash and badly executed is done for the love of movies.

Lethargic, limp and lacklustre.

For every mildly entertaining gag that sticks, there's a painfully unhumorous one to match.

Kevin Kline may get his sorely needed modest hit, but this is yet another in a string of tired, repetitive performances.

Filme mais ou menos, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são mais ou menos, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Steve Martin is known for his comedic stances. However, the comedy presented here is very cheesy due to the forceful accents and constant clumsiness, which made it both breathtaking and hard to watch. There is a surprise appearance of Beyoncé and Kevin Kline. Beyoncé is a singer, and there was not much acting involved in the film. Kevin Kline is a character actor who has methods, so in this role, I knew he tried his best, but it did not fit his style. This is different than the original Pink Panther film, and I would say this is a thin version that may be fit for some audiences.

My sister, brother and I have seen this countless amounts of times. Anyone that isn’t in stitches watching this and doesn’t find it absolutely hilarious doesn’t have a sense of humor! This will forever be a favourite, I will never get bored of it!
