You shouldn't even compare this to the original. They are different and that is fine. I find Steve Martin can deliver variable quality but in this movie he's at his best. My 4 year old son is a fan of slapstick and belly laughs his way through the whole movie. I find myself enjoying it a whole lot also. I recommend this version of Pink Panther.

I knew, of course I knew it couldn't really be anything like the original - The word original in itself tells you something. But I went because I love and respect Steve Martin and thought that perhaps he had some ace up his sleeve and was going to delight and surprise everybody. Stupid me, really. But I couldn't possibly have imagine that the movie was going to be the moronic disaster it turned out to be. Not a moment of real comedy, not a moment! Leave poor Clouseau in peace! Invent something new! Greed, I imagine is at the center of it all. The famous franchise syndrome. Let's beat the whole thing to death, without realizing that it's been dead now for quite some time. The scenes between Kevin Kline and Steve Martin should have been classic (They were funnier in Grand Canyon) instead a sad forced unconvincing attempt to justify their pay checks. I'm totally disappointed and depressed.

I didnt like the original pink panthers as they were alittle bit too slapstik style like that old school british show the benny show (i think thats what its called), this movie on the other hand is helariosu and wel wroth watching, i saw this before the old ones and well its just so funny, steve martin rules in this movie
