Summary: Half-Baked
Review: "Just Visiting" has some positive things about it. The special effects are original & entertaining. I particularly enjoyed when Andre the servant was transported back in time & inflated like a balloon. Malcom McDowell had a very colorful pair of boots! The witchcraft-induced fantasy sequence at the feast was imaginative. This film can capture a child's attention. Mine usually wanders off disinterested, but watched it all. Jean Reno as Count Thibault of Malfete looks very French. However, he's a bit tough to buy as a romantic lead opposite Christina Applegate. I know he was signed because he starred in the French version, but the chemistry with Christina doesn't click, proof being Julia falls for a young cute attorney at the end who does catch her eye. When Reno's transported to the future, there is no elegance of nobility. Christian Clavier's antics of sitting on the floor of LaTour eating like a dog, skewering a raw chicken on an umbrella & roasting it in the fire, washing from the toilet, for me was over-the-top & not funny. Matt Ross as the boyfriend Hunter cheats on Applegate with a beautiful blonde who writhes like a cat in heat on the tabletop. This was unbelievable and tasteless. We certainly believe when Julia breaks up with Hunter; but what did she see in him in the first place? Malcom McDowell is a fine actor who walks through the paces of this half-baked farce. The French countryside is beautiful. Why the wizard transports the count to Chicago is a total mystery. If you don't care if a movie makes sense and someone drinking out of a toilet makes you giggle, this film will find a niche. I'd prefer Kate & Leopold. TAXI!

Summary: Christian Clavier!!!
Review: "Just Visiting" is a great film and the reason is Christian Clavier. His performance is divine. Mr Clavier is a wonderful actor: he gives to the spectator precious gifts: a big smile and special emotions, creates a magic atmosphere and let the fantasy fly high. All Christian Clavier's performances are simply an enchantment!!!

Summary: Cute Little Movie
Review: "Cute" is the best possible way to describe this movie. It's not laugh out loud funny nor is it unfunny. The cast is likable and the storyline (which is more or less a remake of a French film) is interesting and imaginative. It's not perfect but it has plenty of moments. It's a great movie for families and/or couples to watch on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

Summary: If you're in the mood for a good laugh...
Review: "Just Visiting" delivers! I really wasn't sure what to expect when I first saw this movie, and I found myself cracking up the entire time. I thought the cast was great, with good chemistry and, although I wouldn't be expecting any Academy Award nominations, the acting was decent.
If you're looking for something to push your intelligence to the max, look elsewhere. But if you'd like some good, clean entertainment that you can enjoy after a trying day, "Just Visiting" is for you!

Summary: Poor compared to the original French version
Review: Hi, I did smile a little but not more. Actors are great but the movie is a poor remake of the original French (Les visiteur 1 & 2). Personally i'd buy the original from www.amazon.fr if I were you, but the DVD is zone 2!

Summary: This is a wonderfully funny film with great acting and music
Review: I absolutely adored this film. I saw the original French version "Les Visiteurs". That is also fantastic, go watch it. The American version is different with condensed plotlines and all. However, I think this is a great film for anyone to watch. It is really funny, with action and romance. Plus the music is wonderful. It is a combination of classical and modern, which I really enjoy

Summary: One of my favorite movies
Review: I am a French major, so I first saw this movie in its original version as Les Visiteurs with the same two main characters played by Jean Reno and Christian Clavier. I loved the original, so I was interested to see what would happen in the American version. I was very pleased to see that the plot remained almost the same and was just as comical. I was afraid that changes would not be made from the French version and some of the comedy would be lost, but that was not true. Jean Reno and Christian Clavier do a magnificent job of acting and will make you laugh non-stop. I not only recommend this film, but I also recommend the original and the sequeal, Les Visiteus 2 (if you can find them with subtitles).A good buy for everyone!

Summary: I've never laughed so much!
Review: I am not much into "light" movies that don't take you deep into the abyss and make you think... think... This is one of the movies, though, that made me remember how great a genre comedy actually is. I thought the movie was cute, funny, and light, but most importantly we all laughed and laughed sooooo loud that my father's cat got really upset, he didn't know what was going on, hadn't witnessed such "noise." If you like to laugh, you will definately like this movie. And what's better than having it 24/7, you never know when you'll need a good laugh. Enjoy!

Summary: pretty funny
Review: I haven't seen the french version, but I soon will. There's a little slapstick but not too much, and some really funny gems. Jean Reno was perfect for that role. rental
