It's already been said: the idea of replacing Peter Sellers with Alan Arkin in the role of Inspector Clouseau did not work at all. Arkin tries valiantly, but mostly he seems like a serious actor trapped in a comic role, and his efforts come off as forced. But regardless of who's playing Clouseau, this is a flat, long comedy with a story that makes little sense and apparently ends without being fully resolved, and only a handful of funny moments along the way. Catch "Pink Panther Strikes Again" instead! (**)
