Movie Reviews of Just Visiting
Movie Review: Wonderful comedy/fantasy that suffered from lack of publicity
Summary: 5 Stars
I remember seeing exactly one preview for this film before it came out. I asked several people if they had seen it before, and they had never even heard of it. I belive this is why the film bombed in theaters, which upsets me greatly. This film is hilarious! Anyone who enjoys comedy should see this on VHS or DVD.
Medieval French knight Count Thibault is engaged to marry English Princess Rosalind. However, a rival, Earl of Warwick, schemes to have Thaibault bumped off so he can marry Rosalind instead. The Earl gets a potion from a witch that will cause whoever drinks it to have nightmarish hallusinations. The Earl's plan is to have Rosalind drink it, then see Thibault to be a monster and kill him. However, at the banquet something the Earl never expected happens: after tainting the Princess' cup without anyone eles knowing, Rosalind has Thibault drink from her cup while she drinks from his as a sort of romantic celebration, whitch causes Thibault to end up killing her. Thibault is thrown in the dungeon and sentenced to be executed the next morining, but he sends his manservant, Andre le Pate, to find an English wizard to try to find a way to set things right. Andre is able to bring one back in the nick of time, and the wizard devises a spell to open the gates of time. The plan is to send Thibault back a few hours to just before Rosalind was killed and prevent her death. However, this wizard proves to be rather absent-minded, and sends both Thaibault and Andre not back but forward-all the way to the year 2000!
Be sure to check this one out!
Summary of Just Visiting
JUST VISITING - DVD MovieActors Jean Reno and Christian Clavier, along with director Jean-Marie Poiré, were the creative team behind The Visitors, a French comedy from the early 1990s that was a massive hit in its native land and a cult favorite in America. Enthusiastically compared by some to Monty Python and the Holy Grail, The Visitors concerns a time-traveling, medieval knight and his lowly servant, both lost in the 20th century and both shocked by the discovery of their descendants' reversal of fortunes. The film works not only as a nutty bit of slapstick, but as a cheeky satire about class conflict. The Visitors deserves its admirers, but it doesn't deserve Just Visiting, an oddly inappropriate remake featuring the same cast and director, all of whom are undercut by an annoyingly sentimental spin on the original story. This time, Reno and Clavier inexplicably end up in a modern-day U.S. instead of France, and the lure of freedom for Clavier's downtrodden character is tied up not in economics but in his attachment to a fetching neighbor. Blame cowriter John Hughes (Home Alone) for turning something that was once sharp into something dull and sticky. With Christina Applegate, Malcolm McDowell. --Tom Keogh
