The Pink Panther (2006)
Directed by Shawn Levy

Comedy / Crime / Thriller
aka: The Birth of the Pink Panther

Film Synopsis

A famous football coach is killed and a ring adorned with the famous Pink Panther diamond is stolen.  To resolve the mystery, the French government need to avail themselves of a crime-fighting genius of considerable tact and resource, but no one of that kind is available so they have to make do with Inspector Jacques Clouseau.  There are certainly plenty of suspects: a pop star, a footballer, a Chinese assassin...  With the help of his faithful sidekick Ponton, Clouseau embarks on his most challenging case yet, but will he prevent his chief, Dreyfus, from stealing all the credit if he succeeds...?
