Don't Believe the Hype

an ambitious but ultimately ineffective debut endeavor.

The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

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.
