The Pink Panther was filled with stupid "potty" humor, sexual references, and just wasn't funny. While the Viagra joke will go over kid's heads, Steve Martin stumbling around with his head in a woman's crotch sure won't. A couple of laughs, but not worth the rental money.
I had really looked forward to seeing this remake of the Pink Panther.. and with Steve Martin how could it go wrong?
It was a little too crude and dumb for me.. It was very good in remaking the old one.. still in the same slapstick vein. Even though I didn't like the movie on a whole, Steve Martin did make me laugh a points.
All I would say is that if you loved the old Pink Panther and that type of movie (people running into things for laughs, etc.) then you might want to try it out.. if you only thought the old one was OK then don't try this one.
As for the content... it wasn't that bad.. any sexual stuff in it was so silly and was played up for laughs... just a little too much the same for the whole movie.. it was funny for the first 20 minutes but not for a whole movie.
Everyone loves the original Pink Panther and we all agree it's a classic. So why'd they remake it? Steve Martin does a terrible job try to make himself into the next Peter Sellers. I didn't laugh once in the whole film. The only thing I enjoyed was the apperence of Clive Owen as 008. The movie doesn't stay on track with the plot. It focuses on just trying to make people laugh and they end up trying to hard. Little kids may find the slapstick comedy entertaining but no one else will.
This movie was hilarious and my my kids laugh but some of the content was inappropriate for children under 10. Many sexual refrences were displayed, yet hidden from children ever-so-cleverly.
The theater was packed with kids and adults. All the adults around me were laughing constantly, especially those of us who had seen the Peter Sellers' Pink Panther movies. Part of the fun was knowing that every time Clousteau touched something, there would be a funny disaster of some kind. The things that people are concerned about would go over the heads of most kids. For instance, Clousteau called Viagara his "middleaged magic" pill. The word Viagara wasn't even mentioned. Lighten up people. This was a movie that was lots of fun and lots of laughs!
Steve Martin does it again! No one else could have played this part. I thought this movie was hilarious! My daughter, who is 7, enjoyed it but not as much as I did. Some things were over her head which I was grateful for. I love the hamburger parts -- I laugh at that every time. Will buy this movie when it comes out. The theatre was filled with adults and kids and everyone was laughing. Go see it and then go buy a hamburger!!
I hated this movie. Some of it was funny, but most of it was terrible. Some fart jokes, some sexual references (Martin is giving secretary Heimlich, sidekick hears noises in the next room, looks in, sees Martin's back, you can guess the rest, and sidekick completely misconstrues the conversation), that kind of thing. I hated it. The best part was in the trailers. The Viagra reference (it falls down the sink, and he goes, "Oh my god! My miracle pill for the modern man!") was rather funny in delivery, but so out of place it wasn't funny. This is definitely the worst of Steve Martin's movies. (Yes... the worst of ALL of them.) No plot really, and the jokes were stale and overused. The stuff that I and my cousin (he was with me) laughed at was stuff that was put in the movie to be misconstrued. Other than that... it was no good. "The Pink Panter" has lost all of it's charm.
