Yes, there are a ton of crapfests being released in the theatres in the coming months, but I believe that without a doubt the biggest of the bombs is going to be the prequel of The Pink Panther also called The Pink Panther “starring” Steve Martin. There is no reason to make this movie whatsoever. Martin should just publicly apologize now for even considering doing it and own up the the fact that he is no longer funny and is a complete fucking bore in terms of both acting and overall entertainer anymore. The original version of this flick wasn’t a fall down laughfest, anyway. That would come with what I consider to be the best of the Inspector Clouseau movies, A Shot in the Dark. But here we go, making a “wacky” prequel and throwing in Beyonce of all people. Jesus, it really can’t get any worse, can it? Perhaps it can. The other day on Opie And Anthony, someone pointed out how Martin’s Clouseau impression sounded more like his old wild and crazy Czech brother character from “SNL” than anything remotely close to Clouseau. I’d have to agree. Please, Steve, just stop already. You’ve more then embarrassed yourself with almost, if not all the most recent flicks you’ve done. There is no need for any more bullshit.
(There are some hilarious quotes on the IMDB message board for this flick, however. Among them are, “…the movie will be a hit…it may not be #1 but it will be in the top #5. ” and “The trailer has some intelligent humour — it kind of reminds me of Young Frankenstein, and finally the immeasurably talented Steve Martin has found a decent script that rivals some of his earliest films.” Sure, whatever.)
