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.

Despite his own comic credentials, Steve Martin is playing a dead man’s hand here.

Lethargic, limp and lacklustre.

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

Steve Martin took this for the money. There is no comedy in it. It is just a guy being goofy for no apparent reason. Middle school children would like it as it is their type of humour but it is on the bottom of Steve Martin's great work.

Why in the world does this film have 21% this has got to be top 10 movies of all time. It's a goldmine. Watch it on Netflix or Tubi, great piece of cinema! 5 stars. God bless.

A lot of folks (myself included) felt the Pink Panther movies should not have been remade. They are classics and Peter Sellers is deceased; leave it alone. Having said that, I recently watched this for the second time and I've got to say - it's very funny. If you're reviewing this comedy on its merits alone, it's pretty good, and one of these days I'll watch it yet again. (But for now I'm going to go back and watch an old one!)

Fun. This is old school funny stuff. Steve Martin killed this. Not serious at all- filled with clumsy laughs and a good and modern remake of the classic original. It’s meant to be silly, some people just don’t understand.

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
