Rope of Silicon:
I am consistently shocked at how well received Steve Martin's remake The Pink Panther did in 2006. I don't say this because I saw it and hated it, I say this because I avoided it for fear I would hate it. It then went on to make over $80 million and earned a Certified Fresh 88% Rotten Tomatoes rating. What this says to me is that I need to get my ass out and rent it so I know what the hell I am really in for with The Pink Panther 2 which hits theaters on February 6, 2009 and just had its trailer debut online.
Pink Panther is only 25% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, not 88%. BIG difference.
