The Pink Panther 2 - Movie Review and Synopsis

The Pink Panther 2 Insp. Jacques Clouseau teams up with a squad of International detectives who are just as bumbling as he is. Their mission: Stop a globe-trotting thief who specializes in stealing historical artifacts.

Ooh, they pulled a Rachel Dawes here and replaced Kevin Kline with John Cleese in the role of Chief Inspector Dreyfus. Shawn Levy passed on the sequel in order to helm Night at the Museum 2, making way for Agent Cody Banks director Harald Zwart (we’d like to hear Martin-as-Clouseau say his name). That must have saved the production beaucoup dollars. All of this switcheroo neatly conceals the plot, which sounds like Clouseau hunting down Nic Cage in National Treasure. Luckily, this one has even cuter support staff, with a band of inspectors that includes Andy Garcia, Aishwarya Rai, and Alfred Molina.

Rated PG for some suggestive humor, brief mild language and action.

Oh no, I don’t really think this would be much of a movie. Ireally loved the original Pink Panther movies and was disappointed by the one with Martin in it. And it seems Cleese will do just about anything now. I do like Martin , just wish he would do something great again like Bowfinger.
