The original Pink Panther (1963) was a light-hearted comedy. This one features The Princess from the original as Clouseau's widow, because apparently, forgetting that she's a Princess, making her the wife of a dead Clouseau, and having Clouseau's son not know who he is is very funny. And apparently, it's also funny for Clouseau's son to be mistaken for a pink diamond.
There was also about a million bullets flying everywhere (more humor?). Having a new Princess who acts like she's drunk when tranquilized and kidnapped (over and over) is supposed to be funny. And her Mother (who looks to be about the same age as her daughter) is behind the kidnapping, just because. About the only funny thing about this movie is that Clouseau's Mother is only 13 years older than her son.
Meaning that she had Clouseau's son before she ever met Clouseau.
