Just Visiting is here to stay!,
By
This review is from: Just Visiting [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
For a children's film, i was very pleasantly surprised with this offering from Jean Reno, not normally given to this kind of comedy role. Admittedly it is nearly all slapstick, as you would expect from a children's comedy, but unlike most slapstick children's comedy, a lot of it is actually funny, and doesn't make you cringe to watch it.The basic premise is a good one, although it has been done many times before. a medieaval knight and his servant are somehow sent forward in time to the present day, and nearly all the film's gags centre round these to medieaval misfits and their interpretation of 21st century life, along with all our modern inventions. It is genuinely funny. For instance the scenes with the toilet mints (wait and see!) and the attempt to free those 'held prisoner' inside the television really work, and have to be seen to believed, and laughed at. The acting and casting is good, in particular the gorgeous Tara Reid, who looks especially stunning in this movie, along with Christina Applegate, who also looks pretty good. I must admit i don't normally like this kind of films because the humour is so obvious and in-your-face, but it is how children like it. I really would recommend this flim to all parents, as your child will want to watch it over and over again. My little brother certainly did. There are the inevitable bodily function jokes, which always cracks him and all other young children up. But credit where credit's due, i didn't expect to, but i really did enjoy this film, and can quite happily watch this film again and again.

Just Visiting DVD,
This review is from: Just Visiting [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
'Just Visiting' is the third DVD in this series and the only English language release. Like all sequels it has its flaws. It is not a great film but is an interesting Jean Reno comedy vehicle. Consider it as a taster for the much more substantial 'Le Visiteurs (1) 1993 with the combined talents of Valérie Lemercier, Christian Clavier and Jean Reno assisted and inspired by an intelligent and genuinely funny script.
Valérie Lemercier is particularly charming as the royal relation Frénégonde de Pouille / Béatrice de Montmirail, with all the ludicrous and zany characteristics we all expect. Jean Reno and Christian Clavier fit and expand their roles in a warm and authentic way. Indeed the absence of Valérie Lemercier adds to the challenges facing the cast and crew of 'Le Visiteurs 2' and the later 'Just Visiting'. Despite some misgivings 'Just Visiting' is a useful introduction to its bigger brother 'Le Visiteurs (1). Some of the nuances and comic moments based upon word-play will escape non-French speakers who depend upon subtitles, but there is still plenty in the film, and its two sequels, to enjoy.

A Kids Film But Great For Adults Too,
By A Customer
This review is from: Just Visiting [DVD] [2002] (DVD)
One of the most enjoyable childrens films I have seen. In fact the kids spent more time laughing at me and the wife cracking up at the film than they did at the film itself!A simple storyline but a good one, Reno's expressions are superb, lots of zany action. Thoroughly recommended.
