gridoon2018 It's nice to see Herbert Lom, Burt Kwouk and Claudia Cardinale (even if in a different role) back in the "Pink Panther" series one last time, and the stunning Debrah Farentino is another welcome sight, but Roberto Benigni is no Peter Sellers (he was much funnier the following year in "Il Mostro", made in his native country), and the gags and pratfalls are years-stale and unfunny. The film is a good-looking yawner. *1/2 out of 4.

Wes47 The original Pink Panther (1963) was a light-hearted comedy. This one features The Princess from the original as Clouseau's widow, because apparently, forgetting that she's a Princess, making her the wife of a dead Clouseau, and having Clouseau's son not know who he is is very funny. And apparently, it's also funny for Clouseau's son to be mistaken for a pink diamond.There was also about a million bullets flying everywhere (more humor?). Having a new Princess who acts like she's drunk when tranquilized and kidnapped (over and over) is supposed to be funny. And her Mother (who looks to be about the same age as her daughter) is behind the kidnapping, just because. About the only funny thing about this movie is that Clouseau's Mother is only 13 years older than her son.Meaning that she had Clouseau's son before she ever met Clouseau.

Syl Roberto Benigni would have gone on to win an Oscar for "Life is Beautiful" few years later. The film takes place in French Rivera. Roberto plays a local police inspector who lives with his mother. When Princesd Yasmin gets kidnapped, Benigni stumbled on by accident. The storyline is problematic at times but still enjoyable. Veteran Panther actors like Herbert Lom, Claudia Cardinale, and Burt Kwouk back. Roberto is the son of the original pink panther and he carries on Peter Sellers' legacy of physical comedy. Benigni does his job well as the son of the pink panther with his goofy expressions and physical sense of humor.

TigerStrp1 Now i am a 15 year old and i just bought this movie a few days ago for a trip. I was think "Son of the Pink Panther," can't be all that good. But i was wrong! WAY WRONG! A BIG FAT WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!! This film is great i am not a fan of the first few films (The Pink Panther - Shot In The Dark) they arnt bad just not as funny. But the mid 70s ones are fantastic and now this! It was so funny i am still thinking of that line, "Hurry or they cut off my nipples!' it makes my laugh every time! Yes, Sellers is not in it. Yes it takes place ten years after the last one and yes it has a new guy. But it is good and worthy of a rental and even a buy! Not for the 40 year olds and up but for the teens and into the 20s.
