Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Fairaher The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

mraculeated The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

Dave from Ottawa The unexpected death of Peter Sellers put the wildly popular Pink Panther series into production limbo, but producer Blake Edwards tried to re-start things with this entry. Ted Wass is introduced as a new bumbling detective, this time from New York, now on the trail of the missing Clouseau. Various factions each have their own reasons for wanting him to fail in his search and send their top agent to thwart him. Most of the movie is taken up by Wass' bungling misadventures as he runs afoul of one agent after another. Some of these clashes result in entertaining moments, but after a while it all gets pretty episodic and rambling. Moreover the approach seems very sloppy and throwaway, as if 'take one' was used for every scene. The tight direction and sharp comic timing that characterized the early Sellers movies are largely absent, as are the expected elaborately staged, extended comedy-stunt ballets that also figured prominently earlier in the series. Perhaps the budget on this one was lower than usual and the producers tried to hide this by not getting too ambitious at any point. Fans of the series are sure to be disappointed.

ftgplus4 While this is not quite the train wreck that TRAIL OF THE PINK PANTHER was, it's still a pretty weak entry in the PANTHER series. Ted Wass is bland and ineffectual; when I watch him here I keep thinking of how much better this movie could have been if most of his scenes were acted or directed differently. One of the few times he made me laugh was when he was doing the voice for his "instant companion."The "new Clouseau" at the end was an interesting touch -- not convincing, exactly, but funny.In hindsight, if Blake Edwards really wanted to wrap up the series after Sellers' death, I think it would have been better if he combined the "using deleted Sellers scenes" concept from TRAIL with the "searching for Clouseau" concept from CURSE into just one movie, and left it at that.

Lee Eisenberg With "Trail of the Pink Panther", they portrayed Insp. Clouseau disappearing, and this time, they have a clumsy American detective (Ted Wass) look for him. Personally, I wish that they could have ended the series with "Revenge of...". After that, they butchered Peter Sellers's scenes, then replaced him, then replaced him again (Roberto Benigni probably wishes to downplay his role in "Son of..."). So, "Curse of the Pink Panther" might work once, but not after that. Just stick with the original movies. You'll be a much better person for sticking with the original movies.Did anything ever become of Ted Wass?

MartinHafer Uggh!!! This movie is a wonderful example of a movie and movie executives with no soul (or brains for that matter). Peter Sellers, the original Clouseau died and some nitwits decided this shouldn't stop them from doing another Pink Panther movie. This may not have been that bad a decision, but they also decided to have it feature Sellers as Clouseau!!! Now, the way around this was to take clips and outtakes from the previous films and intersperse them in a new and completely contrived plot.Why couldn't they just give it a rest and STOP making these movies?!?! The only positive thing about this film was that the film bombed, as the public was not about to be hoodwinked into paying to see this pile of crap!
