The Pink Panther : 3 of 5
3.22.2006 10:56 PM \| Link	Even though I've been a Steve Martin fan for a long time (I still have lots of routines from his comedy albums memorized!), I think he's definitely passed his peak. I'd much rather see him in The Man with Two Brains than anything he's done in the past several years, but he still brings a smile to my face no matter what role he takes on. I wasn't sure about seeing The Pink Panther, but my parents loved it, and I finally got around to seeing it (since it probably won't be in the theater much longer). I knew it was going to be extremely low-brow (which was proved true by the very first gag of knocking over an old woman on the street), but I have to admit it - I laughed a lot! There are so many jokes that it becomes ridiculous, but maybe that's what made it funny. I really appreciated Steve's verbal humor, much more than the physical slap-stick. Exchanges such as "We found him dead in the locker room, shot in the head." "Was it fatal?" really kept me laughing. It was cool to see Emily Mortimer (whom I recently enjoyed in Match Point) as Clouseau's cute secretary, especially since she's twice the actress as Beyonce (though it was kind of interesting to watch her in her close-ups and realize just how young she is!). All in all, any opportunity to laugh out loud is always worth the price of admission! Labels: movies
