Just Visiting (2001)
4/10
Useless remake...
29 June 2004
Let's face it, Hollywood must be in total lack of inspiration... To take a fantastic original movie like "Les visiteurs" (which was close to perfection) and put it back in New York with new actors (not better, C. Applegate is nowhere near V. Lemercier), add a car chase, some ridiculous lines (You are in America! You can be free! Say: "I am a free man!"), and some ridiculous emotional sequences is just not the way to do it...

The original gags still make you laugh but they are drowned on the whole in this just average movie... Sad...

What's more, even if Christian Clavier and Jean Réno try to do their best in Shakespeare's tongue, they are no way near their original performance... 4/10 while the original deserved a 9...
