The Pink Panther

Who:  Amber & Jonathan
What:  The Pink Panther
Where:  @ home - on cable
Why:  Jonathan picked it

This movie wasn't half bad!  I expected to hate it because ... I'm going to sound like a jerk, but I find it really hard to understand accents.  And Steve Martin has a super strong fake French accent.

Steve Martin is a cop in France.  He is a bumbling moron.  A super famous French soccer coach is murdered after the biggest game of the year!  He's killed on the field in front of everybody.  Who could've committed such a crime?  Was it the Chinese soccer team?  Was it a French soccer player?  Was it Beyonce?

Seriously, why is Beyonce in this movie?  You have a great voice, but I don't want to ever see you in movies again.  I'm just not a fan.

The head of the French police asks Steve Martin (Inspector Cloo-so) to solve the case.  He figured Cloo-so will bumble around for a while, all while he swoops in to solve it himself, and win some fancy award.

Cloo-so bumbles around France, he bumbles around NYC following Beyonce around.  She seems awfully guilty!

Of coure Cloo-so figures out everything (you knew he was going to).  Beyonce sings a song (you knew she was going to).  And the Pink Panther theme song is still pretty darn cool!

P.S.  The best part is Cloo-so trying to say "hamburger" with out a French accent.  Brilliant!  I can't stop quoting it!

Melanie actually bought this movie during a sale at Blockbuster last year. It was suprisingly good. I think it only did "okay" in theaters, but a sequel is on the way sometime next year.

They are making another Pink Panther movie?!? I didn't realize it was popular enough to warrant a sequel.
