07.23.06Paramount You know... after sitting through Lady in the Water's desperate pleas for the audience to become children again in order to be entertained, it's cool to see a movie that actually brings the child out of you all on its own... Sellers' humor in this movie is about as far from sophistication as you can get... yet his charm and superb delivery makes you laugh. At the paramount today, people of all ages were giggling like school children at some of the broadest goofiest humor I've ever laughed at. I'm not really a Pink Panther fan... in fact I was half expecting to be a little bored sitting through this in waiting for the next picture, but I tell you seeing it with a crowd absolutely transforms it. I mean how old is the mirror gag when the two people in gorilla costumes look at each other like they're looking in a mirror? yet it cracked the whole theater right the hell up! Take that, M. Night!

So yeah, I laughed way more than I thought I would (certainly more than the last time I saw this... on DVD) and really enjoyed myself. Of course it helps that the Paramount plays old Warner Brother cartoons before the features... really puts you in the perfect place for a Blake Edwards comedy.
