Actors Jean Reno and Christian Clavier, along with director Jean-Marie Poire, were the creative team behind The Visitors, a French comedy from the early 1990s that was a massive hit in its native land and a cult favorite in America. Enthusiastically compared by some to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Visitors concerns a time-traveling, medieval knight and his lowly servant, both lost in the 20th century and both shocked by the discovery of their descendants' reversal of fortunes. The film works not only as a nutty bit of slapstick, but as a cheeky satire about class conflict. The Visitors deserves its admirers, but it doesn't deserve Just Visiting, an oddly inappropriate remake featuring the same cast and director, all of whom are undercut by an annoyingly sentimental spin on the original story. This time, Reno and Clavier inexplicably end up in a modern-day U.S. instead of France, and the lure of freedom for Clavier's downtrodden character is tied up not in economics but in his attachment to a fetching neighbor. Blame cowriter John Hughes (Home Alone) for turning something that was once sharp into something dull and sticky. With Christina Applegate, Malcolm McDowell. --Tom Keogh

Entertaining And Family Viewable. May 12, 2008
Roberto Vitale (Orlando, FL USA)
The plot, a medieval knight time-transported to the present, is silly. But the cast stays fateful to the script and manages to make it entertaining and funny. It is not for deep-thought; just go for the ride!
 Great hilarious movie thats safe for the family April 6, 2008

Good funny movie that is relatively unknown. Its also safe for the family since it doesnt have much cussing or any nudity.
 Humor Lost in Translation February 24, 2008
M. R. Estante (North America)
Just like Mon Pere Le Hero (My Father the Hero), Trois Hommes et un petit fille (Three Men and a Baby), Just Visiting lost some of the deep humor of its French original. However, Jean Reno and his fellow French actor save the day along with Christina Applegate. A 12th century spell goes wrong and two Frenchmen find themselves in 21st century Chicago with the nobleman's descendant helping them return to their own time. Its slapstick but like Monty Python, you have to understand the cultural nuances to get the joke.
Good Fun! February 9, 2008
L. Dollaway (Williamston, MI)
My family really enjoys this movie. We have rented it for years, but our video store closed up. We should have bought it a long time ago. Makes us laugh every time. I can't say everyone will enjoy this movie, but everyone we know does!

Patricia Kissinger (Grovetown, Ga USA)
Great laugh and special effects. Actors made their charcters come to life and have you think that they are real.
