This outrageous time-travel comedy follows the misadventures of a wacky medieval knight (Jean Reno -- MISSION IMPOSSIBLE, THE PROFESSIONAL) and his faithful servant when they suddenly find themselves zapped into the present day! Mayhem rules as these 12th-century visitors try adapting to the wildly confusing modern world! To avoid being stuck here for good, however, they soon begin an all-out cosmic assault on their former castle -- now a luxury hotel -- in their quest to return to the past. But you can be sure THE VISITORS won't leave without first delivering nonstop laughs and outstanding comedy entertainment!

Summary: Funny and believable
Comment: 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.

Summary: Disappointed
Comment: I had the movie Just Visiting and I loved it. I thought it was extremely entertaining and hilarious. So I decided to get the movie The Visitors, I was so excited to get it. When I finally did receive it and put it in the player to watch it, I realized that it was in french. No where on the cover or on the site in Amazon was it noted that it was filmed in french with SOME subtitles. I was very disappointed and it was too late to return it since I had already opened the seal. I had expected for Amazon to at least mention that slight detail for it's consumers before they make their purchase. Had the DVD itself noted that anywhere on it, I would not have opened it and just returned it.

Summary: Very funny film
Comment: 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!

Summary: French Comedy at its BEST
Comment: 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.

Summary: My copy was "French Language" only
Comment: It said "English",it came with only "French" (English Subtitles). My copy would only be good if learning French was your objective.
