 Magnificant April 12, 2004

I first saw this film in 1994 in Lyon and didnt speak a word of French......I had never laughed so much. Since then I bought it in DVD format with English subtitles and now can enjoy it even more. A brilliant and funny French film.

Watch both versions of the film over two nights, Les Visiteurs and Just Visiting. A lot of similarities in the plot and storyline but the original French version was just that bit more 'intelligent' with a more subtle humour.

I am French and I must say this is the best French film I have seen in quite a while, especially living in the UK.
The humour, jokes and play on words loose some of their meaning in its English subtitles. But I know English people who still very much enjoyed enjoyed it anyway.
I do not recommend the American remake "Just Visiting" which I have seen too, eventhough both Jean Reno and Christian Clavier remain the same characters, it is not a faithful version and is nowhere near as good. Besides, this film is SOOO good, I do not understand why the Americans had to have their own version made.
As for me, I have now watched it well over 50 times (call me sad) but it still gets me in stitches every time. A definit MUST SEE! "C'est dingue, OKAY!"
Something in French that any one can watch April 29, 2002

This IS a silly film but delightfully put together. It combines some wonderful farcical moments and superb over acting.The imcomprehension (of the two 12th Century visitors) in regard to 20th Century France is wonderful. The sending up of the stuffed shirt Bon Chic, Bon Gens (BCBG - Yuppies to the uninitiated) Montmirail family and their total accpetance of Jean Reno and Christian Clavier as possible long lost relatives is wonderful.. It does not matter that this is in French with subtitles... you won't notice them as the action is so obvious that everyone can understand it.. Get yourself a baguette, some brie, open some red wine and thoroughly enjoy yourself....
