A bad movie

The first Pink Panther remake was quite terrible and it was rather surprising that they decided to go for a sequel since the first installment was a complete disaster, at least critically. At least, they couldn’t make a worst movie, it seemed rather unlikely and, indeed, it wasn't worse but it wasn't really better either, I’m afraid. Indeed, even though Steve Martin is a huge fan of Peter Sellers, he completely messed up his performance as Inspecteur Jacques Clouseau, once again, and, this time again, the whole plot was just a terrible bore. To cover up all these weaknesses, they brought a massive supporting cast (Jean Reno, Emily Mortimer, Andy Garcia , Alfred Molina, Aishwarya Rai, John Cleese, Lily Tomlin, Jeremy Irons, Johnny Hallyday) but every single one of them was really wasted and none of their characters was either interesting or entertaining. Not so long ago, I finally saw the original version and, even though I wasn’t completely blown away, I was indeed impressed by Peter Sellers who gave one of the best comic performances I have ever seen. It was pretty obvious from the start that Steve Martin wouldn't manage to top such a performance but I didn’t expect him to deliver such a tedious job. To conclude, I thought it was pretty bad and I don’t think it is worth a look at all, especially if you are a fan of the original Pink Panther.
