Movie Reviews of The Visitors
Movie Review: Funny and believable
Summary: 5 Stars
The acting, and writing, is superb. The more you watch this film, the better it gets...you can really appreciate the many subtleties. Jean Reno really has the aristocracy of the time completely channeled. Clavier, as the vassal, reminds us that there was a time when only the rich or titled had much of a life. Everyone else was just expendable or unworthy...as shown deftly by Clavier's character becoming a pile of s*** when going back in time. The ending is quite amazing and surprising and it makes you think...oh...so that's why it is possible for a vassal's offspring to eventually become the owner of the castle! 1,000 years later. But I don't want to ruin the ending. You can appreciate why one wanted to return to his time and the other didn't. The only thing I couldn't figure out was the reference to "I'm a helicopter man". Why is that so amusing to the French? This movie is delightful and different.Movie Review: French Comedy at its BEST
Summary: 5 Stars
I love this movie. The French make a lot of great movies, and of different styles, action, thriller, comedy - you name it. This movie represents the some of the best of French comedy. A Knight and his servant are accidentally sent into the future, where they find the descendants of the Knight. Their oafish and crude ways, viewed by the modern relatives are hilarious, and the medieval interpretations of modern technology even more so. It will be described by some as a French Monty Python style of movie, and I would agree - and I think the MP team are excellent, so I have no issues with this. Maybe some Americans won't "get it" but that's not my problem! I don't mind subtitles. I love "foreign" films (I'm Australian) and this is right up the top of my favourites list, of all nations, of all genres. GET IT NOW.Movie Review: The Visitor's - Excellent Movie! I love it!

Hello I'm an autistic adult.
This is my review on The Visitor's.
I love mideval movies & once again was flipping through the channels on the tv & came across this on the french version movie I soon figured out it was the original. I loved it. I have it on the DVR & watch it almost every day. This movie is so funny these two guys get sent to future from the mideval times era & there just so lost they figure out they have a decendant in the future & I'm not going to tell any more your just have to going to watch the movie. The american version which is good but left alot of stuff out which in my opinion is really sad. But both movies are extremely good.
Watch the movie it's really funny & good for all ages.
Happy Movie Hunting!
Movie Review: A French Comedic Classic, Finally in the US!
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, for quite awhile, this DVD was not available in the US, and even hard to find in its native France. It was a nice surprise to finally see it appear stateside, and hopefully, it's appearance will garner some more attention to French comedies. The story focuses around a nobleman who, along with his oafish servent, is transported forward in time to modern day France. In their new surroundings, they must deal with life in the modern world, as well as try to figure out how to return to their own time. Christian Clavier and Jean Reno do outstanding jobs as the misplaced main characters, and the movie moves at such a pace, that it offers plenty of laughs. Do yourself a favor and check this movie out if you're never seen it, you won't be disappointed.Movie Review: Amazing acting!
Summary: 5 Stars
What makes this film work so well is the believability of the performances. Jean Reno absolutely masters the combination of brutality, arrogance and chivalry one imagines 11th century knights to be like. Christian Clavier is wonderful in dual roles as a peasant and a hotelier. Valerie Lemercier is brilliant in her modern day role coming from old money. Nothing the eccentrics did phased her: the smells, the behaviorisms, the disasters. Her husband on the other hand, plays the new rich, self made man, who can't control himself when something happens below his modern standards. I can't wait to see The Visitors II.
