Nov 7 2008This 'Pink Panther 2' Trailer Isn't Helping Anyone
Watching this is like seeing Steve Martin standing on the ledge of a building--wanting to help him, to stop this, but not knowing how. You keep shouting up at him, begging him, pleading--this is not the answer!--and he just yells back something unintelligible in a ridiculous French accent. We've lost him.
Thanks to Kyle for the tip, and for pointing out that this steals the pope joke from Eurotrip. My Eurotrip knowledge is embarrassingly low, and I would have totally missed that.

I saw Pink Panther 1 on TV last week and LOVED it. Nobody I know has seen it, which makes me thing they marketed it wrong. What a shame - it might be the funniest movie I've seen all year.

I can think of a few marketing mistakes with the pink panther all of them involving the script, story, characters, and unappealing style of humor.

steve martin is a banjo-playing mensa. something tells me he got a boat load of cash for this movie and knows exactly what he's doing.

R.I.P. Steve Martin's career...
...holy shit, that was John Cleese! What, does he have to be dead to me too now? I can't... I just can't...

Know what, I take that back. Steve Martin could still survive from this -
Let's make "The Jerk 2 - Jerkin' It"!!!

every time i see that part of Pink Panther where Steve Martin tries to say the word hamburger, i want to throw my shoe at the tv and yell out "That's not funny!!!" And yet again Hollywood decides to make a sequel to a movie not worth seeing.

I love Jean Reno! why isn't he the Pink Panther?? He's really funny

Do you feel that? It's Peter Sellers rotating like a fucking rotisserie chicken under your feet...
AND WTF, JOHN CLEESE AND JEAN RENO?! Fo' shame!
11. Amibear - November 7, 2008 3:36 PM
Also Alfred Molina and Andy Garcia. how did you guys miss them?
12. Elmo - November 7, 2008 3:40 PM
yeah you're right.... all of you

I hope that everyone magically wakes up tomorrow with zero tolerance for piece-of-shit movies and Andy Garcia, Jean Reno, John Cleese, and Steve Martin get their just desserts by never getting acting work again for making this affront to entertainment. To think that people are starving in the world, while others will lay out ten bones to see this steaming turd of a flick creases my shorts. I'd love to spend a half hour picking the brain of the winner who thought that #1 was the funniest movie they'd seen all year. Who knows what other gems lie undiscovered up there.

As long as it's sans-Beyonce, it's already better than the first.

this is a family movie, not some movie for angry internet nerds.
16. Mark R - November 7, 2008 5:56 PM
I agree. A family of retards.

T.e. - we don't just need JERK 2 JERKIN IT - we need "JERKIN' IT 2 THE STREETS!" Sweet dance/sing off involving Bernadette Peters.

The element of surprise gag is so similar to Get Smart!
Its like the same movie....

HAMBUUUUUUURGER

the first one was kinda funny

There has to be something to it though - look at the cast. How do you get Jean Reno, John Cleese, Aishwarawhatever Rai, and Andy Garcia all to star in a rubbish movie?
