.
"You never cease to surprise me, sir."
"It's true. My surprises, they are rarely unexpected."
When Yves Gluant, the coach of the French soccer team (Jason Statham) is murdered with a poisoned dart at the end of a game and his huge diamond ring, the pink panther, is stolen, the Inspector General Dreyfus (Kevin Kline) finds the most incompetent detective in France to cover the case so the press will leave Dreyfus alone to solve the case himself so he can, hopefully, be given the highest award in all of France.
of course, Dreyfus' plan backfires with wonderfully comic adventures as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau (Steve Martin) actually does solve the case.
Also appearing are Jean Reno as Ponton, the detective Dreyfus assignes to report back on Clouseau's investigation; Emily Mortimer as Nicole, Clouseau's secretary; Henry Czerny as Yuri, the soccer team's trainer from Russia; Kristin Chenoweth as Cherie, the team's secretary; Roger Rees as Larocque, Gluent's business partner; Beyoncé Knowles as Xania, Gluent's girlfriend; William Abadie as Bizu, a soccer player who resented Gluent; and Clive Owen as 006.
Directed by Shawn Levy.
Run time: 1 hour, 33 minutes
Rated PG for occasional crude and suggestive humor and language.
My personal rating: B
