Surprisingly incoherent and boring
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
The Inspector Clouseau cartoons were uneven, but the good ones are very good indeed and this is one of the top three or four in the series. In this one, a vampire and his monumentally dim assistant (I suspect that he's an idiot studying to be a moron and not having much luck with the process) are trying to get the best of Clouseau. Clouseau, not the brightest penny himself, comes off as a Rhodes scholar by comparison. Unusually, the dialogue is as entertaining as the sight gags, a quality the best of the series share in common. If you can only see one Clouseau, make it either this one or Plastered in Paris. Recommended.
