Guess I watched a different film to everyone else, or maybe just went with a different attitude hoping and expecting to see lots of daft slapstick humour.
I saw exactly what I expected and totally enjoyed it, and with the other members of the audience laughing out loud as well, I guess I was not unique in my hopes.
Inspector Clouseau is a hilarious character and as Peter Sellers is no longer with us, its great to see an actor of Steve Martins calibre taking on the role. If they make a third I will be back to see that with the same attitude.
Do yourself a favour and watch only the trailer for this movie, which runs just over 2 minutes.
It contains just about all this film has to offer, and will save you from 90 minutes of constantly saying ' There was only one Peter Sellers!' .
Captain Kirk, John Steed, Clouseau etc.. are characters that had a symbiotic relationship with the original actors that played them, and no matter how hard you try, cannot be reproduced with the same magic and cleverness.
I thought Steve Martin would have learned this from his previous attempts at Bilko and Clouseau.
I guess he needs the money!
