The incumbence of bigger supporting cast who are seemingly quirky are just nothing as comfortable and enjoyable as Martin slipping into the skins of French accenting-Oddly Spying-Incapaby-buffoonish-at-being-best-at-his-job character de Closeau. Special mention to John Cleese for filling in as the new Chief Inspector Dreyfuss - for even though the accent and obscure idiocy that the previous actor brought is gone, this is The Cleese we are talking about. This man was the heart of great comical masterclasses such as Monty Python and Fawlty Towers for a good reasons and he shows that when he butts his reddened face into the washroom wall ;p.
All on all, leave behind logic, mostly, and lower your expectations of the last time when you start through it and keep guffawing in mirth till it ends.… Expand

This sequel is nowhere as good as the first, it's not as funny, I only chuckled once or twice during the entire movie but the first one had me laughing until I couldn't breath, a huge disappointment.

Like most sequels, it was horible. Trying to recreate the humor that occured in the first was a complete and uter fail. But it did have it's moment's.

Robert Wagner plays the nephew of The Phantom, a playboy/jewel thief played by David Niven in Blake Edwards' "The Pink Panther", the 1963 original that started it all. In order to separate Clouseau from his wife, the young American Robert Wagner plays the nephew of The Phantom, a playboy/jewel thief played by David Niven in Blake Edwards' "The Pink Panther", the 1963 original that started it all. In order to separate Clouseau from his wife, the young American places a call to the inspector's hotel room from an elevator, in which he employs a fake French accent by lifting his nose with an index finger. Steve Martin's take on Inspector Jacques Clouseau seems closer in spirit to Wagner's brief French impersonation than the late Peter Sellers, who, albeit not French, transcended the pitfalls of unintentional caricature. Martin's performance is nothing more than a funny voice sans the digit to the schnoz. Whereas old school Clouseau was oblivious to the mayhem he'd inadvertently foment, new school Clouseau is a post-modernist construct; he's in on the joke, a fire-starter. Martin's bumbling act doesn't have the accidental nature that Sellers had down pat, largely because the American comic plays Clouseau as being too smart for slapstick. In one scene, returning to the restaurant he had previously helped burn down, he asks the maitre d', "Remember me?" with a self-satisfied sneer in his voice that telegraphs the detective's intention to play arsonist again, once the comic set-piece goes through the requisite convolutions. If Sellers was given the same line, he'd deliver the line with a look of sheepishness on his face, and humility in his voice. This Clouseau projects a veneer of latent intellectuality. This Clouseau seems wholly capable of solving the case. That's why "The Pink Panther 2" misses the mark.… Expand

The critics really crucified this one. Although it's noyt a great comedy, it did make me laugh. Not all the gags worked, but enough did to keep me entertained throughout.

While The Pink Panther (2006) was an entertaining film, The Pink Panther 2 is not as great. While it is entertaining it suffers from the previous films style. Some of the Dream Team members are not likable and come off as arrogant. The While The Pink Panther (2006) was an entertaining film, The Pink Panther 2 is not as great.

Pink Panther 2 is light family entertainment. It is somewhat funny but unsuccessfully tries to stuff a weak storyline into it, thus creating a big mess.
