Review of The Pink Panther 2 (2009) by Oxana — 24 Aug 2014
Since this is a comedy, it is expected that there are more than a couple of funny, laughable moments - which there were. Some of them fed off the first movie (so watching that before going to see the new one might be a good idea). Part of the time, repetition was used as a source of amusement, and worked mostly, although you could see it coming.
The acting in this movie is pretty dreadful - something that I recall the first movie fell into as well. Overacting is as much a trademark to this movie as is Closeau's attempt to get "hamburger" right. The accents are also over-done, probably to get more amusement out of the scenes.
Most notable things for me in this movie were Jean Reno and Andy Garcia in their respective roles - and Jeremy Irons! Those men were awesome, although the actors didn't get too much time to bring themselves forth from all the chaotic action.
The movie starts a bit jumpily, going right into the point - almost too quickly. The same pace continues thorough the movie, as if the plot was dancing from one foot to another, wobbling at times, then going steadily onwards again.
There's not too much to the plot; it is quite predictable. Still, it somehow holds itself together, and while the conclusion of the movie is far from fulfilling, the laughable elements are there.
This movie isn't going to run for Oscars, but it certainly does give a few things to talk about later with your friends.
