The Pink Panther
In Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures and Columbia Pictures’ madcap comedy, "The Pink Panther," Steve Martin re-imagines the role of Inspector Clouseau, a man whose deductive powers are limited, whose command of the language is frightening and whose investigative approach is downright dangerous.
But somehow — in spite of himself — he always gets his man.
"The Pink Panther" co-stars Academy Award® winner Kevin Kline as Clouseau’s foil Chief Inspector Dreyfus, Beyoncé Knowles as international pop superstar Xania and Jean Reno as Clouseau’s new sidekick, Gendarme Gilbert Ponton. The film is directed by Shawn Levy (Cheaper by the Dozen, Just Married) with a screenplay by Len Blum and Steve Martin and a story by Len Blum and Michael Saltzman. The producer is Robert Simonds (Cheaper by the Dozen).
Rated "PG" by the MPAA for occasional crude and suggestive humor and language.
Beyonce wants to put more emphasis on her acting career and that’s one reason she’s in this film with Steve Martin. This may be Martin’s biggest film test as he can’t help but be compared with legendary funnyman Peter Sellers.
Running Time: 92 minutes
