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."

The bloom is decidedly off the pinkish rose. Martin has a few inspired moments but in order to get to them you have to wade through a mosh pit of unfunny gags.

Es una de las mejores comedias de la historia del cine, los personajes están psicológicamente muy bien desarrollados, sobre todo en lo referente a la actitud arribista del abusivo Inspector en Jefe de la gendarmería, así como a los celos profesionales de sus compañeros, que Steve Martin apoya con sutileza y elegancia excepcionales, entrando en la difícil área de la "burocracia estatal" y lo "políticamente correcto" y saliendo airoso arrancándonos risas, arriesgando de una manera muy puntual en la escena del Papa con similares resultados. Una puesta inteligente, llena de sutil ironía, y grandes logros humorísticos, lo cual me hace recordar al comediante Fernandel que dio vida a "Don Camilo", una serie donde el personaje se metía de lleno al campo minado que era el ambiente de la guerra fría en esa época, logrando contagiarnos de entrañable humanidad sin caer jamás en la chabacanería. Muy bien por Steve Martin, ¡bravísimo!

A forgettable waste of time.

There is no real plot, the movie's filled with friends of Steve, the comedy is terribly overplayed, or the comedy is overplayed terribly (again, you can choose) -- what you're left with is a bag of tricks that has seen better days.

Perhaps Martin should go back to taking chances and writing original work.

Even the great Lily Tomlin can't muster a funny reaction to a Polish joke. It's an everything-including-the kitchen-sink comedy -- and the sink has rusty pipes.

One of the most dreadfully unnecessary movies in recent memory.

Martin's genius stich to accentuate the elements. Sellars was recognized in his time. Martin is Van Gogh to Sellar's Picasso........................................

An entertaining and fun whole family movie. If you need something for children’s movie night—this may be it.

PP2 is a bit on dryer and less humorous side of its prequel. The incumbence of bigger supporting cast who are seemingly quirky are just nothing as comfortable and enjoyable as Martin slipping into the skins of French accenting-Oddly Spying-Incapaby-buffoonish-at-being-best-at-his-job character de Closeau. Special mention to John Cleese for filling in as the new Chief Inspector Dreyfuss - for even though the accent and obscure idiocy that the previous actor brought is gone, this is The Cleese we are talking about. This man was the heart of great comical masterclasses such as Monty Python and Fawlty Towers for a good reasons and he shows that when he butts his reddened face into the washroom wall ;p.
All on all, leave behind logic, mostly, and lower your expectations of the last time when you start through it and keep guffawing in mirth till it ends.

An easily forgettable and rather uninspired sequel, Pink Panther 2 fails to deliver on any level, and instead beats the hell out of its jokes until they are no longer even jokes but rather just stupid sight-gags and silly dialogue.
