Movie review - "The Pink Panther" (2006) **1/2

OK remake with Steve Martin doing a decent Clouseau, ditto Kevin Kline as Dreyfus. Beyonce Knowles is pretty but can't really act. There are some funny moments, but I have trouble remembering any of the film now. Is Jean Reno required to play a Frenchman in every Hollywood film needing a Frenchman? Notice how in the second half Clouseau is actually a really good detective - is this cheating somehow?
