The Pink Panther Movie


Jason Statham has a cameo as a soccer coach who gets murdered.His huge pink diamond, the Pink Panther diamond, is missing from his hand. Someone has to find the killer and the gem.Paris' Chief Inspector Dreyfus (Kevin Kline) decides to make himself look better and further his own pursuit of a Medal of Honour by appointing a fool to solve the murder case. That way, Dreyfus figures, he can eventually take over from the fool, solve the case himself and make himself look good. To that end, he gets the bumbling, provincial Inspector Clouseau (Steve Martin) to come to Paris to take the case.

The cast includes Beyonce Knowles (here directed to act without a bra), Kevin Kline (keeping himself awake by cleverly alternating between French and British accents), Emily Mortimer and Henry Czerny (trying not to look humiliated) and French actor Jean Reno (who actually does a wonderful job as straight man to Steve Martin).

There isn't any story here. Instead, there's a parking joke done better in the past by Woody Allen, speech-impediment and funny accent jokes, a secret agent 006 joke with Clive Owen, a Viagra joke, personal pain jokes (concussion, crushed finger, electrocuted testicles), wrecked furniture jokes (table, vase, chandelier, etc.) two-guys-share-a-bed joke, a men-in-tights joke, and like that. It's hideous.
