I'm a huge fan of the Blake Edwards Pink Panther series, and especially think that Peter Sellers was perfect for the role of Insp. Clouseau.

SO...I'm predisposed to just HATE this remake.

But...then again,

Steve Martin is great
Kevin Kline is great

So I will go see it. And hope.

But you also have to remember that Beyoncé Knowles is in it, and I'm predisposed to hate all movies that she's in. Despite that, I'll probably go see it anyways. Steve Martin and Kevin Kline will make a great team and the trailer is hilarious.

The trailer looks hilarious.

I can't wait. [Smile]

I'm probably going to wait to hear how this does. I'm really not a huge fan of Steve Martin and I adored Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau, so this new film makes me edgy about it all.

I'll go see it. And I'll probably hate it. But that is the curse of remaking beloved movies.

Oh! I forgot all about this film. Wasn't it supposed to be out in August or something? [Confused]

It was supposed to be due out in the fall, I work projection in a movie theatre and we had a list with the date we were gonna get it in our shipment. Then we got a notice saying that they weren't gonna release it. Apparently it got terrible reviews in testing and they went in and practically re-did the whole thing.

I like Steve Martin and Kevin Kline too, but I they're in a bad spot with this movie. I won't be seeing it.

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

I'm glad it didn't come out if it, apparently, sucked. Maybe the re-doing will be tolerable.

Posted by Lyrhawn (Member # 7039) on :

This annoys me. The trailer really did look good, a little silly, but it's Steve Martin, what do you expect?

If movies like Hostage and The Ring 2 can make it out of the studio, how does this get held up for redos?

Posted by SteveRogers (Member # 7130) on :

I'm betting that no one laughed. Or not enough people, in their opinions, laughed. Or it just plain sucked.

...I really do like Steve Martin. I do.

But next to Kevin Kline he's going to look rather foolish, and not in a good way. Kevin Kline is just so....good.
