1. It's boring
2. It's homophobic
3. It's not funny. Seller's antics are annoying, not funny. I find myself rooting for Dreyfus.

Boring is in the eye of the beholder. The movie isn't meant to be this action flick so its about people in situations, mostly Chief Inspector Clouseau bumbling detective role.

Homophobic is in the eye of the beholder. As most of the film doesn't focus around the Queen of Hearts those scenes weren't about being homophobic as much as Chief Inspector Clouseau dealing with the experience.

The antics are meant to be annoying, the funny parts are mostly in how others try to deal with the Chief Inspector Clouseau.

This and SHOT IN THE DARK are Sellers best Clouseau movies.

How can you not find the joke about two men appearing to engage in anal intercourse not funny? The funniest thing about this flick was my trying to explain to my kids what was funny about what those two men were doing in this PG film.

This is easily the best in the series followed by Return & Shot in the Dark.

You're too anal to know humor when you see it.

1. It's not boring. Not for a minute.
2. The gay bar scenes were not homophobic.
3. It was damn hilarious. Clouseau at his best.

I thought that the pratfalls and physical humor were really overdone. Terrible, in my opinion. I didn't notice anything homophobic in this movie. But then, I didn't actually finish this movie.

I prefer the very first movie in the series.

A damn better time it was, too.

Of all the Pink Panther movies, the only one I like is the first one. They got progressively worse as time went on.

The first is utterly boring, Shot In The Dark, Return Of The Pink Panther and This one are a barrel of laughs with hardly a dull moment and they all focus on Inspector Clouseau.
