    If you liked the first then you are going to like this one as Clouseau is offensive and outrageous, which is a perfect fit for one of the "Wild and Crazy Guys."

    Serves up enough goofy pranks and fractured wordplay to keep the series purring along.
  3. Martin starts at the outrageous accent and spins out from there, and that's fine for this. And there are a few snicker-worthy scenes.
  4. 38
    There are three or four big laughs scattered throughout The Pink Panther 2, along with a smattering of decent chuckles. But all those moments combined account for maybe five minutes of screen time, which leaves you with another hour and a half of movie to sit through.

    The critics really crucified this one. Although it's noyt a great comedy, it did make me laugh. Not all the gags worked, but enough did to keep me entertained throughout. Expand
  4. This sequel is nowhere as good as the first, it's not as funny, I only chuckled once or twice during the entire movie but the first one had me laughing until I couldn't breath, a huge disappointment. Expand
