The Pink Panther

2006

When the coach of the France football team is killed by a poisoned dart in the stadium at the end of a game, and his huge, expensive ring with the Pink Panther diamond disappears, the ambitious Chief Inspector Dreyfus assigns the worst police inspector – Jacques Clouseau – to the case.

Strong language2/5
Why this rating?

Mild insults, comic name-calling, and occasional crude expressions fit the film’s PG comedy style.

Romance2/5
