WHAT I LOVED ABOUT THE MOVIE: (SPOILER ALERT)

I loved the emphasis the movie placed on not giving up even when the tide is turned against us because victory could be on the horizon. This reminds me of Naaman, the Syrian who had leprosy but did not give up even after the 6th time he washed himself in water but was healed on the 7th time. Eventually, Clouseau would solve the crime and get the girl of his dreams.
