Editorial Review:
WHEN LEGENDARY TREASURES FROM AROUND THE WORLD ARE STOLEN, INCLUDING THE PRICELESS PINK PANTHER DIAMOND, CHIEF INSPECTOR DREYFUS IS FORCED TO ASSIGN INSPECTOR CLOUSEAU TO A TEAM OF INTERNATIONAL DETECTIVES AND EXPERTS CHARGED WITH CATCHING THE THIEF AND RETRIEVING THE STOLEN ARTIFACTS.
Description of Pink Panther 2:
"Let me bring you up to speed. We know nothing. Now you are up to speed." Thus is the bumbling, deadpan persona of Inspector Clouseau, as re-invented by Steve Martin, best summed up. In this sequel to the 2006 remake of the classic Peter Sellers films, Martin gets crisper direction and a smarter script than he did the first time out. Martin, to his great credit, has never been afraid to make himself look foolish or to take pratfalls--and if the viewer finds these remakes to be less satirical than the original Sellers films, he will still be letting our great laughs and chuckles through the course of the film. And what a cast! Martin is joined by John Cleese, Jeremy Irons, Lily Tomlin, Jean Reno, Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai, Emily Mortimer, Alfred Molina, and Andy Garcia--all of whom seem to be having a delightful romp--a feeling that’s contagious. The story picks up where the last film ended, with Clouseau’s having saved the precious Pink Panther diamond in Paris. Since then, Clouseau has been reassigned to parking-ticket duty, to keep him off the frayed nerves of Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Cleese). But a band of international thieves is wreaking havoc on the world’s treasures, and, before you can say minkey, the priceless Pink Panther goes missing, again. If plot’s a bit predictable, it’s no matter, since the phun is in the haplessness of Clouseau and the rings of nuclear fallout that surround him. And you may never pronounce hamburger the same way. Evair!--A.T. Hurley

reviewing pink panther 2 
2009-10-09 -
I buy blu rays mostly for the pq, pink panther 2 has very good pq, the movie is okay not great but good for a few laughs.
Funny movie but short in length
2009-10-08 - I thought the Pink panther 2 was a good film and Steve Martin who plays Inspector Clouseau was a good laugh.
Inspector Clouseau is an over-the-character and it comes out well. The incidences in Rome at the restaurant were really good as was the dancing.
A funny movie, but too short at around 1 hr 15 minutes. It is a good job that the DVD has deleted scenes and other gag reels to amke up for this.
laugh out loud funny 
2009-09-26 - When you can sit by yourself and watch a movie and laugh out loud at even parts of the movie - that's a good movie. I rented this one because of all the bad reviews. I had to see it - Martin, Reno, Cleese, Molina, Garcia, Rai - somewhere I figured something in it had to be funny. What I discovered was that lots of it was funny - plus they finally got it right with the anticipation build-up, which was a great deal of the fun in the Sellers original. When Steve Martin heads for the wine, you think, 'oh no', and you are not disappointed. For me, this is definitely a keeper that I will want to watch again when I need a good laugh, so I bought it.
Love it!
2009-08-28 - I saw this movie in theatre and couldn't wait for it to come out on DVD. I've probably seen it 5 times now and I still enjoy watching it. I love the sense of humor!!
