Critics Consensus

Underutilizing its talented cast, The Pink Panther 2 is little more than a series of lame slapstick gags.

Outlook

A highly awkward and tepid climax ends things with a whimper.

Sydney Morning Herald

There are some beautifully constructed, elaborately inventive sequences of mayhem involving sight gags; then there are the scenes in between, when people talk. These are mostly disappointing.

Rated: 3/5

Deep Focus Review

Steve Martin continues his uninspired performance as the Inspector, complete with an intentionally bad French accent, over-the-top stupidity, and his poor pronunciation of “hamburger.”

Rated: 1/4

Gone With The Twins

It's unfortunate that audiences won't know until the end of the film that the best part is its opening credits cartoon.

Rated: 3/10

Movie Talk

When attempting to make a movie about a prize nincompoop then it helps if you aren't even more conspicuously dim than your protagonist. Yet on the evidence of The Pink Panther 2, it looks as though there were bumbling nitwits on both sides of the camera.

This movie bombed more than part 1 (back in 2006).

This movie shoves political correctness down viewers throats. It's an irritating movie that fails to be funny. It truly sucks.

It's still holds up. I'd rather not compare and contrast. Very cute. Good for kids. The child actors are funny and enough laughs for the whole family.

OH EM GEE JACK FROM AJR IN A MOVIE?? I was not paying much attention to the parts of the movie that didnt have jack in it, I'll be honest. It has some jokes in it that could have aged better but other than that the movie was fine.

The problem here, as it was in the previous one with Steve Martin, is that there isn't a firm enough hand in the director's chair to really make the movie as good as it could have been. That said it still isn't the trainwreck the reviews imply it is and I challenge you to find anything as funny as the scenes between Martin and Tomlin in any of the Pink Panther movies released from 1978-1993.
