Without trying to be Peter Sellers, Steve Martin is Clouseau. I found the movie funny and had wondered if it would be possible for it to be as funny as the Sellers' version. Steve Martin could make a franchise as the new Jacques Clouseau. Martin has a quirky accent and his physical humor makes him the right successor to the late great Peter Sellers. In my view Kevin Kline will need to grow more into the role of Chief Inspector Dreyfus, maybe he will get the twitch in the eye made famous by Herbert Lom. It will be interesting to see if there are follow-ups to this film, maybe we could see Christopher Walken as an opponent for Clouseau.
