 Les Visteurs - Parts 1 and 2 March 28, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Les Visiteurs is a work of pure genius. There is action and comedy and the plot is so hilarious, you truly want it all to be real. Jean Reno is one of my top five favourite actors; so when you consider that he is up there with the likes of Humphrey Bogart, James Stewart, Steve McQueen and (for the modern film fans) Johnny Depp, he is amongst the finest actors. Les Visiteurs is a timeless (no pun intended) classic, well scripted French film. Apart from the English language remake - Just Visitng, I hope there may one day be another. Again; Pure Genius
 Reno and Clavier in Decent Form March 27, 2008

Both French Box Office smash hits, Les Visiteurs has a medieval knight Reno and his valet Clavier travelling back in time to undo Reno's accidental slaying of his prospective father in law only to find themselves transported to the 20th century where they meet their great great.....you get the idea and the usual assortment of slapstick moments that fish out of water experience duly follow.
Les Visiteurs 2 is pretty much the same but with more plot(too much if you ask me)and pretty much the same gags albeit with a funny ending that sets up a third instalment(never made).
Clavier co wrote with director Poire and while both films are extremely good natured the french have a problem with broad comedy(they can't really do it- Clavier spends most of the time just shouting and pulling faces).
Reno is well cast and the 12th century stuff is oddly stirring and Dumasesque with bizarre characterisations that work but the 20th century is too strained and save for the odd sight gag falls a little flat.
French"Carry on" without Sid James and Charles Hawtrey to give it some pep.
