Time Out

The big question, of course, is why anyone would want to film even one remake of Blake Edwardss 1960s comedy series,...

Did I see a different film ?

DrPain from , 20th February, 2009

Guess I watched a different film to everyone else, or maybe just went with a different attitude hoping and expecting to see lots of daft slapstick humour. I saw exactly what I expected and totally enjoyed it, and with the other members of the audience laughing out loud as well, I guess I was not unique in my hopes. Inspector Clouseau is a hilarious character and as Peter Sellers is no longer with us, it’s great to see an actor of Steve Martin’s calibre taking on the role. If they make a third I will be back to see that with the same attitude.

The trailer is enough!!!

A Customer from Winchester, England, 12th February, 2009

Do yourself a favour and watch only the trailer for this movie, which runs just over 2 minutes. It contains just about all this film has to offer, and will save you from 90 minutes of constantly saying ' There was only one Peter Sellers!' . Captain Kirk, John Steed, Clouseau etc.. are characters that had a symbiotic relationship with the original actors that played them, and no matter how hard you try, cannot be reproduced with the same magic and cleverness. I thought Steve Martin would have learned this from his previous attempts at Bilko and Clouseau. I guess he needs the money!

Just Appalling!

TurkThrust from , 17th May, 2009

Laugh! They've even got some of the film's production crew writing positive reviews here!!! Steve Martin does it again! Someone needs to redefine the words 'embarrassing', 'tragic' and 'pathetic' in the dictionary. Quite simple add... Martin, Steve: American comic actor (well sort of was once!) Tragic beyond mere words! Martin give it up ...somethings are more important than money ...like self respect for example!

Easy watching but nothing special. No real story line.

Silly but enjoyable film

A Customer from Farnborough, 9th March, 2010

I get the complaints that Martin is not the same as Sellers, but you have to get over that and just enjoy the film for what it is. Obviously, the comedy is completely overdone and at times is rather embarrasing, but having said that, the whole family enjoyed the film - my teenage boys especially. There were sufficient laughs to keep the interest, but it was not consistent enough to attain 5 stars. Definitely worth a watch if you are not too stuck up on 'it has to be Sellers to be any good'.

steve martins fluidity

A Customer from inverness scotland, 25th January, 2010

exellant film considering the fact i was expecting an old classic to be hard to repeat and be any good in the fact that it would just be completely naff.But this was a joy to watch and very funny. steve martin the star as ever was fluidly exellant in executing his role and the other cast good as well.thoroughly enjoyed it...in fact we watched it twice.
