musapuff I watched the Pink Panther I back in junior high and left a 7-8 years gap before watching the sequel. So perhaps I'm too old and outgrew this humor but this movie is not funny at all.They reused the "hamburger" gag, which lost its funny touch and freshness. Then they tried to make a new hamburger gag with the politically correct teacher, which was not funny either. This movie is just a recycled version of the first one where they included all parts that worked back into the first one. The acting made the characters stupider, more ridiculous, and obnoxious than the first movie. The story and acting felt a bit out of place. I had a really hard time enjoying this. And can I just say the whole romance story between Inspector Clouseau and Nicole was very awkward to watch. In conclusion, this movie is unoriginal and super predictable.

Python Hyena The Pink Panther 2 (2009): Dir: Harold Zwart / Cast: Steve Martin, Jean Reno, Alfred Molina, Emily Mortimer, John Cleese: Pitiful sequel where Inspector Jacquac Clouseau is united with a dream team of detectives to solve the thefts regarding The Tornado. Of course, he screws things up unintentionally but the screenplay was screwed up already. Perhaps he should solve the case of the missing good screenwriters. Directed by Harold Zwart who previously made One Night at McCool's and Agent Cody Banks. This is not much of an advancement. Steve Martin returns as Clouseau who is first seen at a demoted job location as a meter maid. He is assigned to this case where he must reclaim the Pink Panther diamond yet again. Martin survives the material with his mishaps and pure luck. Jean Reno returns as his faithful sidekick suffering from a shaky marriage but unfortunately this is a mere afterthought. Emily Mortimer plays Clouseau's assistant / girlfriend. And that is pretty much the height of her involvement. John Cleese is featured as the foil who appoints Clouseau to the case but the role is standard issue. It is obvious that he will witness Clouseau luck out again and solve the case. Alfred Molina is also featured the chief inspector and yet another useless foil. The film is visually well made with a few effective sight jokes yet it is also pointless and an unnecessary sequel. Score: 2 ½ / 10

TheSeaLion This movie was terrible. There. That's it. There really isn't anything else that deserves to be said about this movie. Heck, it doesn't even deserve a review. However, after suffering through this stupid, horrible, abomination of what I guess can be passed off as a movie nowadays, I decided I may as well throw in my two cents about the movie in hopes that someone who is thinking about watching it will read my review and decide to not touch the "movie" with a ten- foot pole.Once again, the Pink Panther diamond goes missing--this time along with other priceless objects from around the globe--and an international task force comprising of representatives from Italy (Andy Garcia), England (Alfred Molina), Japan (Yuki Matsuzaki), India (Aishwarya Rai Bachchan), and of course Jacques Clouseau (Steve Martin) from France. The task force travels between France and Italy, investigating the disappearances of the priceless objects and Clouseau making a mockery of them the whole time, yet still being left on the case and never sharing the information he has gathered with anyone else until the end of the movie.From this movie, I am convinced that Martin' Clouseau is the worst main character of any film ever made. Not only is he a bumbling idiot who solves his cases based on luck alone, in this movie he's a racist, sexist, bigoted, arson who holds two young boys out over a balcony of his second-floor apartment. That's our hero everybody. Now, the movie is not promoting these things, but it is still trying to pass of Clouseau as this great guy despite his inappropriate actions, which are so inappropriate he is constantly being brought to the office of Yvette Berenger (Lily Tomlin), a manners teacher who keeps trying to teach Clouseau political correctness. Then at the end she throws out all of her merits and in a way mimics Clouseau. What?There are a number of pointless subplots and scenes throughout the movie that serve no purpose to it. The entire inclusion of Berenger and Clouseau's lack of understanding how inappropriate he is has no effect on the story or the main character. Clouseau's partner Ponton (Jean Reno) has a fight with his wife, gets kicked out of his house along with his two kids (Armel Bellec and I think Jack Metzger) and stays with Clouseau. The kids are kung-fu experts and have a play fight with them that results in Clouseau holding them over a balcony. Because of the kids, we do learn that Clouseau has a replica of the Pink Panther, but that information could have been given to the audience in another way. The resolution to Ponton's problem is him and Clouseau singing about shampoo and then saying he's going to make amends with his wife.The movie attempts to have drama in the story from there being a boring love triangle between Clouseau, the Italian representative, and Clouseau's girlfriend Nicole (Emily Mortimer) that we care nothing about because we don't like the characters, to Ponton's marital issues that have no real outcome or presence in the story. Not only does the movie think it's funny, but it thinks it's good at having drama in it as well. Let me let you in on a little secret: it isn't good at it.This movie is good at nothing. There is not a single joke that is funny nor is there a single likable character in the bunch or plot line to be invested in. This movie offers nothing and gives even less upon viewing it. This movie should be hailed as one of the worst movies ever made alongside Ed Wood's "Plan Nine from Outer Space" or any number of the latest Adam Sandler comedies.

WakenPayne This movie and it's predecessors are all I would expect from a premise like "moronic police man tries to find national treasured pink diamond while in the meantime gets into situations that involve slapstick." Whilst that isn't a good plot by any stretch of the imagination, it can be mindless, stupid fun.I have already explained the plot above, which might seem a little bit of the "same old same old" this one is different in the sense that Cluesau is asked to join a team, this team consists of the considered "best detectives in the world".This is simply my opinion, but if my opinion matters to you (which it shouldn't) then this might be worth a try if you want an hour and a half of just sheer slapstick stupidity.
