It's very difficult to mess with the best. There are too many movies out there that are re-makes of classics. People went to see it because it has Steven Martin and Kevin Kline in it. If they weren't in it, people would've listened to their friends that saw it first. Word of mouth was that it sucked before it even hit theatres. I went anyways, because it had Steve Martin in it.
This is not a brilliant movie. This is not one of Martin or Kline's best efforts. People in England would refer to it as a "naff" movie. The kind of movie where you just look at the screen and watch. You sit in your movie seat with the look. The look your parents call: "tv eyes." TV eyes being - it didn't matter what was on the screen; you watched anyways, to tune out the world of doing dishes. This edition of the Pink Panther is where you need to go in without any expectations, so you won't be disappointed.
However, there are some good physical comedy moments in this movie. It's a harmless movie. No blood and guts. No swearing to my recollection. No innuendos of anything that would alarm parents. Kind of like being near a clown at the fairgrounds trying to make others laugh. For adults, this is a time for "TV eyes," too. To tune out the world that's a little more complicated than doing the dishes.
