7/10
Uneven it is, but also entertaining
23 November 2010
I do not think Revenge of the Pink Panther is the best in the series(Shot in the Dark is hilarious), but it was a funny and pleasant diversion. The plot is a bit of a less though, and while I liked the music in general some of it got a little repetitive or interfered too much in some scenes. Also there is the odd bit of slow pacing. However, I actually kind of liked it. Peter Sellers is a sheer delight as Clousseau, and Herbert Lom was good also, his eulogy scene had me in hysterics. And there is some decent scripting, however I did find the sight gags more memorable, especially the scene in Clousseau's apartment about twenty five minutes into the movie, the funniest moment of that particular scene was when he fell through the ceiling when it was cut through. I quite liked the production values as well, they weren't what I call exquisite, but they were pleasant enough. Overall, decent but I do agree it is uneven at times. Worth watching for Sellers, but for those looking for a more structured plot they'd better see Shot in the Dark for example instead. 7/10 Bethany Cox
