Second: For those who say Martin turned Clouseau into some kind of loser, I again suggest you watch the originals. I remember loving the movie as a kid, then I tried to watch it recently and realized I was remembering the sequel. Sellers is good, but the movie itself is slow and obvious. You will be surprised at how unfunny it is. Now to clear some things up: First: For those who lament a crappy remake of the original film, I suggest you go watch the original film. He might have taken more time to make his own Dreyfuss. Jean Reno was quite good, Kevin Cline not so good. The key is that Marin captured the spirit of the character and the film captured the spirit of the original films as well. Think original Clouseau + The Jerk and you get the idea. I personally don't think Martin was trying to BE Sellers, but to do his TAKE on a character created by Sellers. There were plenty of laughs and a simple but serviceable plot that held together for the whole film. I expected the worst because of many of the comments here, but that's why they play the game, so the saying goes.
