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.

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.

Few movies have ever made me pause repeatedly—not to ponder the plot, but to recover from fits of uncontrollable laughter. The 2006 'Pink Panther' achieved that and more. Steve Martin as Clouseau delivers a masterclass in physical comedy and absurdity, proving that sometimes, it's the smallest missteps that leave the biggest impression.

Looking at the average score, I think my current stressed-out mood played a role in me enjoying this movie so much. But then, still, this movie had me laugh out loud so many times, I can't do anything else than give it five stars. This is a very well made, beautiful, very well acted, very silly and very funny movie.

It's a masterpiece! Hilarious, the stunts Martin does looks so real and not like waiting for a mark. Sellers is amazing for sure I like both almost equally but Martin does a better job at acting and stunts along with acting a fool but being the smartest inspector almost like he has to be a fool to know who did the crime over anyone else. I don't understand the hate for this movie and Martin, this movie is absolutely a masterpiece! It has you guessing the whole movie who done it like a Agatha Christie Novel while being hilarious none stop.
