A lot better than the original. Watching Steve Martin burn bathrooms, hurt bikers, and make huge chandeliers crash to the floor is very hilarious. He is just so funny that the movie's very effective. Good thing that this was made because the original one I had to shut off because it didn't make me laugh at all.

I found this movie hilarious! It's one of my favorites, and I am surprised by the critic reviews. Steve Martin did a good job making the detective look like an idiot, and the main character also looks kind of like my late father, except does not act like him. Just an extra comment there. I liked the part when we found out he really does speak Chinese, and that his attitude earlier was not really sarcasm. I rate this movie 4 1/2 stars.

I find this movie really funny. Steve martin play such a funny detective, and I just laugh hard when he say," It's such a lovily weather we're having today." and pull the curtin to see if someone was there. This movie is funny and it's worth watching. If you like the old Pink Panther movie, you'll like this one. I give it four stars.

Steve Martin fills his big shoes and does a great job at portraying the clumsy inspector clouseau.The Pink Panther is Mr.Bean,Johnny English,and Naked Gun all wrapped in one big hilarious package.It's full of stupid humor,farce,and slapstick comedy and that is why it's so entertaining.It is far from a dirty comedy like American Pie,EuroTrip,or even The 40 Year Old Virgin it is just fun to watch because of Clouseau's stupidity.Beyonce is a very small but very important character and i was happy to see that she didn't turn the film into an urban/gangsta comedy like barbershop which i had expected.The comedy is about as inappropriate as Spongebob Squarepants,or Cow and Chicken so it is perfectly fine to let the entire family see.It's full of kooky antics and hilarious one liners but it's slapstick comedy is the highlight.It is actually one of the better flicks i've seen this year and comes recommended.This is a harmless comedy that set out to be an entertaining family film not a passionate academy award winner

Even though this film may never be good at the original classic, it was still a amazing remake with the humor and funny stunts from Steve Martin.

  The staging of the physical comedy in The Pink Panther is not always adept - director Shawn Levy is no Blake Edwards - but Martin, who co-wrote the screenplay, keeps spinning in his own orbit anyway. And what an orbit it is.

  Transforming Clouseau's perennial nemesis into a more urbane smoothie, Kevin Kline delivers like a pro.

  Martin, who hasn't really clicked in a movie in years, hits the target this time with an Inspector Clouseau who is even more relentlessly annoying (and strangely endearing) than Sellers managed to be in his last several outings.

  This one will make you laugh early and often, and send you out of the theater in a cheerful mood.

  The best thing about the replica is how wholeheartedly Martin throws himself into the physical comedy, which is uniformly hilarious.

  This Pink Panther really doesn't have to achieve the heights of the original; it just has to be funny on its own terms. But it pales there too. Kline, a master of comic hypocrisy, deserves more screen time, Emily Mortimer is wasted as Clouseau's adoring assistant Nicole and Knowles is over indulged as Xania.

  This slapdash farce, arriving three decades after Sellers last inhabited the role, sustains a baseline of good will that often spikes into delight at Mr. Martin's beguiling nonsense.

  Martin makes a fine Clouseau, re-energizing musty old physical gags involving chandeliers and priceless vases, and rolling his tongue around a zesty form of pidgin French. If he ever finds his Blake Edwards, there may be hope for this franchise yet.

  Neither the disaster one might have suspected nor a fully realized madcap farce; rather, Steve Martin's foray as Inspector Clouseau exhibits bursts of wild-and-craziness, but hardly enough to sustain even its relatively brief running time.

  Even the cartoon Pink Panther in the credits seems off - at once too glitzy and too fey, more Peter Allen than Pink Panther.

  Suffice to say that Shawn Levy, director of the "Cheaper by the Dozen" movies, is no Blake Edwards; for every finely tuned slapstick fillip, there's a ton of messy, family-friendly buffoonery.

  The best sequence is a five-minute set-piece where Clouseau struggles with an accent coach to learn how to order a hamburger like an American.
