for some reason and people seem to have a problem differentiate this movie from trail of the pink panther . at any rate and this work do nothing but serve to remind u how sad the world be without peter seller in it . they bring back the same old favorite from trail ( dreyfus and cato and litton and etc . ) and but they introduce a misdirected pratt fall humorist into a role which be design to substitute for the miss clouseau . dreyfus devise a way to produce the perfect copy of clouseau via a hard frame computer system which factor the variable and toss out the name of the most inept idiot in the global law enforcement family . what we get be a poor guy who be obviously overwhelm by the grand scale of what blake edward propose he should do and and boy do it show . ted wass be amiable a sergeant clifton sleigh and but let face it . he wasn not clouseau in any way . i realize that blake edward be lose his great cash cow and but to disrespect seller memory like this be just sacrilege . frankly and i be glad they have remake the original . i hope it run a long line of successful venture for steve martin . this dreck rate a 2. negative from . the fiend represent .
