The Pink Panther - 2.75 UMBRRJERS!




The Pink Panther is at it again. In the movie by this name, Steve Martin inherits the role from the late British actor Peter Sellers who had defined the acting style of the bumbling unapologetic French detectiveClouseau. Can Steve Martin fit the role ? He had shown us a glimpse of how he can switch to the silly idiotiic style in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels . He has  beautifully painted  Beyonce for company. Anyway, the movie is an American production so why not!! By reviewing this movie I am probably reviewing the entire franchise !!



Inspector Clouseau cannot restrain himself from destroying  vases, curtains and other expensive property because he sees villains hidden everywhere. That leads to many hilarious situations in the movie. He even manages to break a leg or two!! It takes lot of patience to work with  Clouseau as you can see from the frustration written on the  faces of his co-workers. However, in the end, the immaculately dressed Clouseau wins by accidentally discovering the location of the Pink Panther diamond and thus saving the reputation of France!! 

My favorite scenes are the scene where  an American coach tries to repair his accent and the farting scene in the Sound proof recording studio where Beyonce is recording a song. Does that remind you of someone you know !?
