Movie Reviews of The Visitors
Movie Review: Funniest 'Foreign' Movie I've Seen
Summary: 4 Stars
I admit I haven't seen more than probably 40 or 50 "foreign" films, but of those, this is still the funniest one I have watched. The major problem I had with it was that the dialog (and the humorous lines) came so fast I barely had time to read the subtitles. It gets a little tiring after awhile trying to keep up with the reading and viewing at the same time, at that pace.
As with all comedies, you get both smart and stupid scenes. You get more stupid when you have more slapstick, but you also have more laugh-out-loud moments. Such is the case here, as Jean Reno and Christian Clavier portray clownish 11th-century men who suddenly find themselves in modern-day France. Time-travel films almost always are fascinating, whether it's sci-fi or comedy.
As for family viewing, there is no sex and no nudity, but there is rough language which is why it's rated "R."
Movie Review: Marginally funny
Summary: 4 Stars
Not to repeat the base plot line, but isn't the material of this movie kinda dated? Similar to original Crocodile Dundee - which is tremendously hilarious when it was released - the comic material isn't fresh any more.
But this original version is way better than the American adapted version, "Just Visiting". Also, some of the French dialogue still has the wit and edgyness that make people smile. Too bad that the French-English translation is merely adequate.
Movie Review: Medieval fun
Summary: 4 Stars
Godefroy de Papincourt (Jean Reno) has recently saved the king and he finally gets the kings approval to marry the love of his life. However, something goes horribly wrong after a witch has poisoned his wine pouch. Godefroy decides to get help from his fathers wizard who is suffering from mild senility in order to correct the previous error. And again something goes wrong, terribly wrong. Visitors is a light hearted comedy with both slap-stick humor and witty dialogues that entertains young and old.Movie Review: Probably not for everyone ....
Summary: 4 Stars
.... But I loved it! I happened upon it on TV on an HD Movie channel. I was about to switch channels - I don't like French, don't like sub-titles - but something caught my attention, and I started watching "just a few minutes" of it. Then, I realized, "Hey, this is funny!". I had to watch the remainder of it, but had missed the beginning. So, I had to buy the DVD.
With the sub-titles, you have to pay attention, and it may not be everyone's style of humor, but I laughed my way through it!
Movie Review: Very funny film
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a very funny film. I laughed out loud several times. It would appeal to all from age 12 and up. Shows the mayhem that happens when two medieval Frenchmen are transported to the modern world. Very good tonic for the blues!
