A world-famous soccer coach has been murdered and his priceless, legendary ring has been stolen--a ring set with the stunning diamond known as the "Pink Panther." The French government needs a master detective to solve the crime and recover the gem--but he's not available, so they recruit none other than Inspector Jacques Clouseau. A stunning pop star, a soccer player, a Chinese assassin circles--but who committed the crime? And can anyone solve the case? Clouseau and his partner, Ponton, must unmask the murderer and keep their boss, Dreyfus, from taking credit for the victory, all without bringing the French legal system to a screeching halt.

Your enjoyment of THE PINK PANTHER, a remake of the 1963 classic Peter Sellers film, will depend on several things -- your love of the original, your tolerance of relentless, heavy slapstick and, most of all, your ability to withstand an hour and a half of an audio assault on your ears, as Steve Martin hams it up for all he's worth with the silliest accent in recent memory. After his work in the disastrous CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2, his fans will certainly want to cut him as much slack as possible in order to be able to buy him as the next Inspector Jacques Clouseau. But, although I applaud his relentless energy in chewing up the scenery, I found nothing to laugh at in his performance. Granted I did smile some, but, overall, I was happiest when the film was over. My fear is that it will become a big hit, thus generating innumerable sequels, or, more precisely, remakes of sequels.
