DVD Reviews of The Visitors

DVD Review: Disappointed
Summary: 1 Stars

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.

DVD 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!

DVD Review: French Comedy at its BEST
Summary: 5 Stars

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.

DVD Review: My copy was "French Language" only
Summary: 1 Stars

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

DVD 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."

Description of The Visitors

A medieval nobleman and his squire are accidentally transported to contemporary times by a senile sorcerer. He enlists the aid of his descendent to try to find a way to return home all the while trying to cope with the cultural and technological changes distinguishing his time from ours.
