  Provides genial chuckles, but it's never excitingly rude.

  Serves up enough goofy pranks and fractured wordplay to keep the series purring along.

  Although the stunts come thick and fast in The Pink Panther 2, they are jammed together in a way that gives most of them barely enough time to register.
