    Not that bad

    I went to see The Pink Panther more of less expecting it to be bad, given all the terrible reviews. But I am a mentor for a young girl, and on our outing that day, she chose that movie over a few other possibilities. While I can't say the movie was great or as hilariously funny as the original, it certainly did have some funny moments. I would have rather sat through that movie than through some movies I've hated that critics raved about. Some of the humor was sophmoric, but so are some of the bits on "The Daily Show." I don't think the movie nor Steve Martin deserve such derision.
