I've just read about it . Haven't seen the flic yet . But wonder if i will .
As much as i've enjoyed and laughed at the hilarious Steve-moments in movies like Bowfinger , My Blue Heaven , Roxanne , The Lonely Guy , etc .....
.....i'm shure they did their best with the new version , but how can you ever replace this .....

..... swine birds .....
..... Cato ? .....




..... for this ?!!!!!




Peter Sellers' typical acting is too unique for a remake or sequel ( imo ) .
They once tried it somewhere in the mid-80's with a Clark Kent-looking actor who should be the new Clouseau ... it just didn't work .... IRREPLACABLE

i agree.
I dont really think Steve Martin is all that funny, I like The Man with 2 Brains,Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Father of the Bride but i think he is crap in everything else he's done.

steve martin is not really that funny. the movie sucked, Beyonce was dumb(as usual) 3 out of 10

peter sellers was a genius... and completely an act no one could follow, even though several (alan arkin, ted wass, roberto begnini, and now steve martin) have tried and all failed miserably.

I loved the Jerk and Bowfinger in addition to that.
