Pink Panther (DVD)

The dvd itself was absolutely fine, mint condition with quick delivery, so this is not a comment on the seller. The seller was perfect! But the film was rubbish. I bought it for my son who loves the old Peter Sellers films, and actually quite likes Steve Martin, but even he, aged 8, agreed that watching Steve Martin trying to co Clouseau, was just painful!!!

Steve Martin is no Sellers
but this film deserves a look
he does the role in Martin-style
with Beyonce as the hook

Not all the jokes are funny
Some of them fall quite flat
The plot is sometimes paper-thin
But you'll laugh in spite of that

A soccer coach is murdered
Stuck with a poisoned dart
He's also lost his bling-bling
seems at death the two must part

Chief Dreyfus wants the glory
He lives only for fame
He picks the bumbling Clouseau
So the fool can take the blame

But when things vary from the plan
The Chief has Clouseau trapped
He makes a grand announcement
That he soon will have things wrapped

Down but certainly not out
Clouseau finds one last clue
And at the Presidential Ball
He solves both cases too

Beyonce's bootylicious
Clive Owen proves he's Bond
With Kevin Kline and Jean Reno
This one's for tout le monde

it was good because it was a funny film and i have watched it time and time again.I had it for my birthday and all my friend enjoyed watching it. it was also suitable for all the family as my brothe is 5 years old and he enjoyed watching it. |The best part of the film was when steve martin was having difficulty in pronouncing the english language.

I found the movie to be unbearable to watch and the jokes were extremely annoying. The comedy was thoughtless and unimaginative.

The Americans find Steve Martins French accent extremely funny, personally I found it boring.

This really is a film for children as they will enjoy the childish comedy style and easy to follow story line.

Ok to be honest I expected this to be a really poor copy of the classic Peter Sellers films. For those old enough to remember the work of one of the greatest comic minds ever there is bound to be some comparing. That said once you give Steve Martin a chance it is really rather good.
My kids (both boys aged 8 and 9) watch the film regularly and love to re-enact bits.
I silly funny film for all the family that have cost a few pounds but bought hours of laughs for the whole family.
and yes we have bought the sequel and they love that too!

This film has to be one of my favorites! Steve Martin plays Inspector Clouseau fantastically, the perfect actor to play the character. He works really well with Beyonce and makes the movie a complete success. It will have you in stitches. Really would recommend this film! Suitable for all ages! Really good family film!

I bought it when i saw pink panther 2 had been released i wanted to see pink panther i first i love steve martin the film was very funny. great buy *

Very funny, easy to watch. Excellent entertainment for a weekend. I would recommend this to anyone between 12 -112.

This is a good film, but unfortunatley not a patch on the original.
Love Steve martin Anyway, but the funniest bits were at the start and at the end with the wallpaper sequence brillent!
Am sure If you have not seen Peter Sellers Films of the pink Panther you will love It.

it was so funny we laugh so much steve martin is great in this dvd i loved everthing about it was recommend to me by a friend

This was a suprising movie, which I approached with caution, However Steve Martin does not attempt to impersonate Peter Sellers but bring his own version of Cleusau. There was plenty of laugh out loud moments to just cover up a bit of a predictable script, However well worth watching in company.

THIS IS A FUNNY FILM SOME REALLY SILLY PARTS IN IT BUT SOME PARTS MADE ME REALLY LAUGH WOULD PUT THIS AS A ONE TO WATCH IF YOU LIKE COMEDY.

This actually compares fairly well to the Peter Sellars films. Sellars is still my favourite but my kids loved this one.

my son wanted me to buy this, he thinks it is good, iam a peter sellers fan so i thought i would watch it, i found it really funny and steve martin is a great actor.

Very good film............ if you haven't seen the Peter Sellers originals!
My children thought it was very funny, and the adults were entertained, however even the brilliant Steve Martin and co. couldn't capture the timing and comic genius of the original cast. Very good film worth watching but not comparing!!

Steve Martin - awesome
Beyonce Knowles - gets better with every film

The film is very good, saw it on the tv and thought i had to get it

Not for the fans of Peter Sellers, and because of that it didn't do as well at the box office. But it had the wife and her mates falling over with laughter at Steve Martins portraeal of the accident prone inspector. It would also appeal to children, as Steve Martins' slant on comedy seems to appeal to all ages.

My husband and children enjoyed this film at the cinema, so i thought i would give them a little treat and buy it for them. The fact that i got it so cheaply just made the whole experience even more enjoyable.

I actually bought this DVD for my sons. It was a brand new item and therefore in perfect condition. The story line was a bit daft and not as clever as the Peter Sellers Pink Panther films, but my kids found it hysterical. It arrived quickly and the sale went through without problem.

In short:

I saw it.
I bid on it.
I got it.

Nothing else to add really.

Excellent film could watch time and time again nearly as good as original but not quiet.I bought it because i loved original.

the product never arrived, after reading review on the seller i can add to them to say this was a waste of time, the only consolation was that I didn't get scammed much money.

The danger with a film like this is that we always compare it with one that went before. Pink Panther doesn't feel the same without the ineffable Peter Sellers causing chaos BUT Steve Martin has adopted the part far better than expected and pulls the whole film together very well.

The plot is pretty good. Kevin Kline (who plays Dreyfuss) has a clear problem producing a French accent. He sounds more like a British Aristocrat for most of the film but it adds to the amusement !

I am a great fan of the Pink Panther films from the Sellers' era and didn't know what to expect with this one. Having now watched it five times, I can safely say that I find this film very amusing and well in keeping with the old traditions. My congratulations to Steve Martin and the team for a great movie !!

steve martin is great but the film want as good as i expected.i brought it as i love steve martin and heard alot of about it.glad ive seen for myself but doubt il watch it again.

I was asked by a family member to see how much this item was. When I found it, I got it for them. I did watch it and think Steve Martin is excellent as usual. Making the cast was Beonce Knowles who equally plays a great part.

All round family entertainment and for this reason I gave it a 4/5. Good film
