Review Quotes
- "In The Pink Panther 2 the cast sprints way, way out ahead of the material, and miles ahead of the director, Harald Zwart. I enjoyed Emily Mortimer, back as Nicole, Clouseau's soul mate. Andy Garcia (as a rakish Italian sleuth) has a funny bit with a mirror, involving Jeremy Irons, who looks vaguely distressed at finding himself in a disposable Pink Panther sequel."—Chicago TribuneChicago Tribune: The Pink Panther 2 Review (February 5, 2009)
- "Martin's enthusiastically unintelligible Clouseau is OK, at least until it's combined with English-born Emily Mortimer's fake French accent and Andy Garcia's fake Italian accent, and you start to feel relieved that John Cleese didn't really try. That said, there are a few funny scenes. The initial one-upmanship between Clouseau and Molina's detective is funny, and Clouseau's date with his assistant (in which he burns down a restaurant) is extremely well-played. Mostly, though, The Pink Panther 2 is a forgettable waste of time."—Seattle PISeattle PI: Pink Panther 2 is a Crime Itself (February 5, 2009)
