Nope, not the Peter Sellers version.

Simon launches a (limited) defence of the Steve Martin Pink Panther remake…

Ive not lost faith.

ButThe Pink Pantherisnt a turgid movie.

3 stars

Its not a great one, but its functional, and occasionally quite funny.

Its a bit annoying, but plenty of marks for effort.

Likewise, the extras package is surprisingly strong.

Sleuth cams, meanwhile, I liked too.

The disc also features Beyonce having a sing-song.

She seems to be having a nice time, too.

As for the presentation of the film itself, things dont go quite so well.

While its an upgrade over the DVD, the picture quality youd have to say is decent at best.

It just looks a bit washed out, and in need of a bit more work.

The surround sound track is very clear, although not hugely active.

But it does the job.

But some effort has gone in here, and that makes the disc one thats hard to sneer at.

Unless you didnt like the film…
