Please stop.
Steve Martin and Robin Williams haven't made a funny comedy in years.

Have they ever made really funny movies? I have always found them amusing, but not really funny. I think Robin Williams doing stand-up after an 8-ball can be fuuny, but never really found Steve martin funny.

I'll take Martin and Williams over Stiller and Ferrell any day of the week.

Steve Martin revolutionized stand-up comedy. There never would have been a Robin Williams if it weren’t for Steve in the mid-70’s. Not to take away from Robin. His stand up was and still is funny, funny, funny. Unlike most of his films.

I personally loved early Martin films. Unfortunately he feels he’s above stand-up at this point and both guys are kinda full of themselves nowadays. No desire on my part to see this sequel.

My understanding was that the original was a bomb both critically and at the box office.....SO how and why is there a sequel?

Martin was once very very funny and seemed okay in the "Father of the Bride" movies, even though I didnt see them, box office was decent.

But EVERYONE I talked with and all I read, thought Pink Panther was HORRIBLE. It is kinda pathetic to watch him sink this low.....

I'm at a loss here.....the first one was terrible. Oh wait, that's right studio execs have no commone sense whatsoever.

tacid • Jun 08, 2008, 04:14pm •

Ok I think that the fact that they are making a sequel to this is proof that there is no God.

I liked Martin's early work but I am ashamed to say that he has becomed an as been.

There was a made for PP Trailer for Kung-Fu panda. I saw him and thought "Oh god not this crap." If it was anybody else it might have been funny. He snuck into a theater for Kung Fu Panda and cut a hole in the movie screen which looked pretty good.

"Why not pass it along?" Because it doesn't fit the genre qualifications for this site, nor was the first one impressive enough that we would actually care.

velgron • Jun 09, 2008, 12:15pm •

I guess that in a sense it does qualify... I first thought that it was a Fiction news... then I screamed in HORROR when realized he was serious... (I know I'm not funny, just annoying)...

We are in the Remake/Sequel era of the film industry, and you can't blame Steve Martin for sticking this long an having a lot of connections. Still, I agree that his comedy style is not working. I'd prefer to rewatch "The Jerk" instead of PP2.
