75Preserves the flavor of the original and even improves upon it.
-
70If you saw the French version, well, here it is, in Disney language, with John-Hughes-style slapstick.
-
Recycled French farce isn't a bad thing, but do they really like all those pratfalls?
-
60A happy vulgarity still reigns.
-
60A one-joke comedy that is good for more than a few good laughs.
-
Forgoes the destructo silliness of the original in favor of one too many bland self help subplots.
-
50Director Jean-Marie Gaubert, who also directed this film's French predecessor, keeps the silly story barreling along.
-
50Amusing enough.
-
50Not as funny as the original, not nearly as funny.
-
50It does yield solidly comic performances.
-
50Over all, the humor has been sanitized a bit compared with the darker, more grotesque comedy of the French original.
-
40One more attempt to pass off chopped liver as foie gras.
-
40Heartfelt as Reno and Applegate are here, the film strands them with an impotently blustering, straw-dog villain and a limp, directionless story.
-
40This is a scattershot affair, though fans of Reno should find it engagingly loopy.
-
40Drains the original story of its satire and juices up its shtick, schmaltz and special effects.
-
40A lot of it is low, crude, admittedly comic in the rudest positive sense, which involves a lot of falling down to humorous effect.
-
40It's a crude, visually ugly, and peculiarly over-plotted movie, but the blunt, pungent, physical shtick is often pretty funny.
-
38No disinfectant could clean up this misbegotten, Americanized remake of "Les Visiteurs."
-
38It's hard to believe anyone would think importing a French comedy was a good idea.
-
30I haven't seen the original, and this mishmash -- doesn't make me want to.
-
25There ought to be a law about transporting humor internationally.
-
25I nodded off watching Just Visiting.
-
25A mess.
-
20Not only microwaves what is already four-day-old fish in Paris, but lets the original director, screenwriters, and stars do the reheating.
-
12Don't even think of visiting this French fiasco.

ZantoH.10This movie was excellent, and definitely funny. Obviously, the majority of the media has no sense of humor.
