Summary: Great Fun for the Family
Review: I haven't seen the original French version, although I expect it is probably even more hilarious. The American version, is, however, enjoyable through and through. Its tongue-in-cheek quality is refreshingly different from typical Hollywood fare. Most people who enjoy good comedies would like this movie. Every minute there is something funny happening. It appeals to young and old audiences; it appeals to men and women. You get slapstick and you get romance, all delivered with just the right touch of humor. Don't miss out on this excellent film.

Summary: Absolutely Hillarious!
Review: I was going to buy this video just to see Christina Applegate, but was delighted to discover not just another comedy for the big screen, but a delightful and hillarious story with a strong plot, super acting and well done special effects. If you are looking for some excellent comic relief, and who isn't these days, you will not be disappointed. ALL of the main characters performed admirably as the story travels from the 12th century to the present, and then back again. The ending will leave you with a strong feeling of satisfaction as the "bad guys" get their just desserts. Just watch out for dragons, and don't expect your cell phone to work 30 generations in the past!

Summary: AFTER WATCHING BOTH VERSIONS
Review: I watched both versions of this movie and thought the American version was funny. Then I bought the French version and it was hysterical. There was so much left out of the American version.
Even if you don't speak French, you can pretty much follow along with or without the subtitles. Jean Reno & Christian Clavier are crazy as all get out.
Obviously, I recommend the French version, but both are very entertaining!!!

Summary: Strange FR-Hollywood combination
Review: I watched The Visitors and, as I just relocated to Chicago, decided to rent Just Visiting. While the main idea was kept, sadly this film has been twisted and emerged as a strange French-Hiollywood combination. The ending w/ all the police chasing, isn't that a bit too Hollywood-like? And Reno's reaction upon hearing Clavier's 'freedom' speech is too bland...I second everyone's opinion that the FR version is way better and funnier.

Summary: Goofy, stupid, intelligent fun
Review: I'm a sucker for time travel movies. As farcical as this one was, it was also true to its subject. The attitudes and habits of the medieval nobleman and serf who were forced into modern times were correctly anachronistic. This movie could be used in a high school course on the changing ways we see the world. The clash of cultures produced most of the laughs, many of of them were low comedy yucch, but intelligence was at work, also. The special effects were first rate, too. Altogether it was a movie of strangely mixed intent. What demographic were they aiming at? Perhaps it was this air of earnestness, as opposed to stylish and formulaic movie making I liked best.

Summary: pay no attention to the French
Review: I've seen both versions and they are both pretty funny. The french version however, will most likely not appeal to an American taste. It is subtitled of course, but also strangely gory and a little Monty-Pythonish. The American version of Just Visiting has excellent special effects and humor, and Jean Reno is PRICELESS as the French nobleman. The humor is quirky and may not be for everyone, so I suggest rent. Don't miss, gauranteed for a few belly laughs.

Summary: The French Original Is the Best!!!
Review: If you'd enjoyed "Just Visiting", run to the video store and grab "Les Visiteurs". The 1993 French production is, without a shadow of doubt, yonks funnier and far less chessy than the American remake. See it to believe it.
