Belated Movie Review

The other week, the family and I went over to the Wheeler’s house for pizza and a movie.  The movie of choice was The Pink Panther.  Now, I must admit I was more than a little sceptical about this movie.  I expected it to be dumb…and not in a good way.  I expected it to be dull and the jokes to fall flat.  However, what I found was nothing shy of cinematic mastery.  Take the following scene:   How can a person sit back and not at least quietly chuckle to themselves?  I don’t care who you are, passing gas is always good for a laugh.  It’s like it’s somehow ingrained in our DNA to laugh at such events.

The whole movie wasn’t just about passing gas.  There was also a wonderful display of team work.  Just watch and see:   Just classic.

In short, I’d highly recommend this movie to anyone and look forward to the release of the next one.  If you are dead set against this movie because you are loyal to the old school version, you are only robbing yourself of pure enjoyment.  It’s an A+  If nothing else, this movie will give you 2 new phrases to arbitrarily say at any point in time (“I’d like to buy a hamburger” said w/ a quasi French accent and “Lovely weather we are having today”…you have to have seen the movie to catch that one).  Lastly, the camouflage scene is classic.  Probably the hardest I’ve laughed in a long time.  I tried to find a clip to attach, but no luck.  Again, if you haven’t seen this movie go watch it.  It’s a MUST SEE.
