Matt Brunson Film Frenzy A waste of everyone's time. Rated: 2/4 Nov 7, 2021 Full Review Diego Galán El Pais (Spain) The movie is almost a fraud. There's no new ideas and it doesn't achieve the quality of its predecessors. [Full Review in Spanish] Aug 27, 2019 Full Review Charles Cassady Common Sense Media A weak link in the brilliant series. Rated: 2/5 Dec 15, 2010 Full Review Christopher Null Filmcritic.com Think of it as the cinematic version of a sitcom clip show. Rated: 2/5 Jan 25, 2006 Full Review Emanuel Levy EmanuelLevy.Com Rated: 2/5 Jul 6, 2005 Full Review Rob Thomas Capital Times (Madison, WI) A horrible idea, badly executed.

Aender S A hastily made collage made after Peter Sellers' death. Avoid this film, it's really bad. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/14/24 Full Review alan g What a wate of great talent. Great actors in a horrible, horrible movie. Sleepwalking and mugging for the cameras. Must have been made for cash grab for the actors. Avoid. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/28/24 Full Review Alec B A pointless clip show. I could see doing this if the previously unseen outtakes and deleted scenes from the other movies used here were so earth shatteringly good that constructing a flimsy narrative around them would be worth it. Unfortunately they range from "meh" to "fine" at best. The result is a shameless cash grab. If the intent was really to honor Sellers with this movie they failed miserably. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/10/24 Full Review Audience Member Victor Frankenstein's monster was never as hideous as this. This movie called itself a tribute to Peter Sellers, but it was really an insult, as Sellers would never have allowed old footage of himself to be used in new movies. Yet this movie not only includes highlight scenes culled from prior Pink Panther movies, but unused footage that should have stayed unused. Add a thin story about the disappearance of Clouseau and a lot of mostly poorly-acted new material (though the scene where Dreyfus tries to keep from showing joy at the prospect of Clouseau's disappearing for good was the movie's only funny part), and that is exactly what this movie is. No exaggeration. Blake Edwards may have disliked Peter Sellers, and may have had good reason, but that didn't justify his obvious grave-robbing here. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member A pointless clip show.

Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Didn't enjoy this one as it just seemed to be a mish-mash of stuff from previous movies and not that entertaining or funny.
