What a waste of my time!!!
Overrated
Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
View MoreThe storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
View MoreThis is an Inspector Clouseau short. There will be spoilers ahead:I generally enjoy the Inspector shorts, even if they are rather limited, because the gags are typically funny. This short, however, is an exception. It has a decent, if tired, premise-aliens come to Earth and kidnap The Commissioner, leaving the Inspector and his "aide", Sergeant Deaux-Deaux to travel by rocket to the aliens home world to rescue him.When the best part of the short is a rocket ship crewed by monkeys clearly more capable than anyone else in the short, seven+ minutes can seem very long indeed. The aliens aren't even all that interesting. Our "heroes" manage to accidentally find The Commissioner and free him, only to wind up running for their lives from an alien.The ending of the short is flat and predictable, which is sad, because the end gag isn't funny. It's a decent series, but even the best series has a few duds.The Inspector shorts are available on two DVS which are worth searching out and watching.
View MoreThis was the first really weak effort I've seen in this animated series. It's not horrible, but the jokes are not funny, just flat, and the story is too ridiculous to entertain anyone over the age of five.A little green man from Mars comes by in a spaceship and kidnaps The Commissioner. Moments later, The Inspector and Deux-Deux find a spaceship and head out to save him. The two are parachuted to the planet, discover their boss in some big underground tunnel and try to rescue him. It's all really juvenile; not the normal fare. Not all of the 17 cartoons I have seen in this series were winners. Some were disappointing, but this probably the weakest effort in the lot.
