So much of it is focused on the plot at hand, yes. Clouseau is wrapped up in yet another scheme involving some criminal mastermind asking for his head, and while some of the events therein are mildly humorous, the overall tone is severely hampered by an over reliance on plot development. But with that, there's also one baffling moment where the canon of the entire franchise is thrown for a loop by. . .I don't even know what to call it. A narrative oversight? The laziest retcon ever? It's something I'd honestly take as an attempt at comedy, if the movie were a lot funnier. But, alas, a lot of the magic of the prior installments are gone. Clouseau fooling around in some millionaire's home gym. Clouseau unwittingly missing an entire robbery happening in a store just feet away from him. Clouseau giving away his luggage and clothing to some strange man in a hotel through a few simple conversational mistakes. All of these gags made for some of the best moments in a series that (I thought) valued nuance over grandiosity. But here we are, watching Clouseau parade around in "yellowface" and a bevy of other over-the-top disguises. To be fair and clear here, it's far from the worst comedy I've ever seen, and I wouldn't even say it's the worst in the franchise. But my regrets remain.… Expand

It features some well choreographed fight scenes with Cato, plus some fun chase scenes and while the humour may be viewed by some as a bit too juvenile, as I say I enjoyed it, so it suited me (make of that what you will but I don't think I'm a stupid person). Its pretty inoffensive stuff, any sex references are really quite mild and the like, compared to comedy films of this day and age. I enjoy the quirky, comic book feel that the film has, with the main character (Clousseau) being quite comical. If you've seen other live action Pink Panther films then you'll know roughly what to expect. I'd happily recommend this film.… Expand
