Critic Reviews

Roger Ebert

Preserves the flavor of the original and even improves upon it. Read full review

F. X. Feeney

A happy vulgarity still reigns. Read full review

Film.com Tom Keogh

It does yield solidly comic performances. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Frank Lovece

Heartfelt as Reno and Applegate are here, the film strands them with an impotently blustering, straw-dog villain and a limp, directionless story. Read full review

New Times (L.A.) M.V. Moorhead

It's a crude, visually ugly, and peculiarly over-plotted movie, but the blunt, pungent, physical shtick is often pretty funny. Read full review

Andy Seiler

No disinfectant could clean up this misbegotten, Americanized remake of "Les Visiteurs." Read full review

Lou Lumenick

Don't even think of visiting this French fiasco.

This is an amazing film. Too bad we live in a society that values useless crap like danish girl or some drunk college films instead of awesome classics. Viva LA Les Visiteurs.

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

I don't understand the low score for this movie. It's definitely very funny. Although it's an american remake of "Les visiteurs" and uses some of the same jokes, I don't think that's a problem, because it's actually BETTER than the original.

They used some of the good jokes from the 2 "Les visiteurs" films and left out the badly ridiculous parts. Christian Clavier and Jean Reno provide hilarious and great performances,as always. All in all, I would recommend this american version rather than the two French films.(And I actually enjoyed those, too.)… Expand

One of the best comedy movies I've ever seen. Jean Reno acting was excellent, as well as Christian Clavier's. I definitely had a great time watching this movie, and it was very fun.

Okay, so maybe it isn't the funniest movie I've ever seen. But it's damn entertaining. I've seen this movie about 7 times. Why? I don't know. But every time I watch it again, it's just as good as the last.

I remember seeing the French version of this film on the television when I was a kid, but don't recall much other than two men from the medieval in the streets of the modern world. Somehow I found this, and after some research I chose this version to watch which I thought easy to understand, as well as for the reason some updates were made in this. Well, I know nothing can beat the original, but for those haven't seen the original, this is not a bad one. Quite an enjoyable film with a simple theme and a simple adventure.

Seems a very familiar concept, but surely a unique product. Jean Reno was brilliant and so his sidekick and other supporting characters. Top notch jokes, felt like I had some loud laughs after a long time. Of course, there are some flaws, but minors, like relocating from Europe to the US since it is a Hollywood production. It is a time travel theme in fantasy. There's no time machine, instead a wizard behind the adventure through the time.

A perfect family film. It's not about prediction, since watching the first scene you would know what follows it and how it all ends. So you're relieved from guessing stuff and can sit back relaxedly and enjoy it as much you can. It is your average film, but if you're seeking a good comedy, then it is surely above that. There are thousands of masterpiece comedies, this is not one of them, though must see from this genre.
