Pink Panther 2 : Movie Review


Back in the fun, free-basing '70s, Steve Martin was a stand-up comic god. "Me Decade" audiences lined up for hours to see this one-man Beatles of absurdist humor. They bought his albums, memorized his skits, and even stayed up late to see him swing with groovy foxes as part of a then-relevant Saturday Night Live. Fast-forward 30 years and the formerly wild and crazy guy has decided to follow fellow SNL alum Eddie Murphy into the fetid family film arena. With a couple of Cheaper by the Dozens under his belt, Martin is now mangling the legacy of one of film's greatest comedy franchises. No matter how hard he tries, however, he can't completely kill the legacy of the Pink Panther. This unnecessary sequel does come awfully close, though.
