Audio Audio Language: English The Sound Quality is good with clear dialogue and no distortions. Bass levels seem good as well Rating: |
Picture Quality Disc Format: Blu-Ray The Picture Quality is pretty good. Its sharp but could be a tad sharper. Black levels seem OK but a little more work would have made the film look better and colors pop just not vividly. Rating: |

| My Thoughts |
Just Visiting is a story telling adventurous time traveling Comedy remake. Now the film gets medium reviews but for me it was fun and funny at times. Now I haven’t seen the original (Les Visiteurs) so I can’t contrast and compare but in most cases its best to see the Remake first as they are not better.
I enjoyed all the actors and the funny bits were pretty funny at times even though some things could get over the top. The film is basically a king and his peasant who must time travel back in time before his wife died but accidentally was sent in to the future where cars and toilets are very odd things to see. With a plot line like that you can tell some of the mischief that might occur in this film. Now it’s not the greatest film nor an award-winning piece but it was a fun view.
Overall the film is a fun one. Its movie where you can just sit back and relax and take in some of the humor. As for the down side of the movie, it does get a tad goofy like a kids like film but most of the stuff that goes on is more adult. So its kind of hard to say if this film will be meant for kids.
With that said I give this film a 3.5 out of 5. It is fun light-hearted comedy that may put you in a good mood. Go pick this up and give it a shot. If you enjoyed the King and Peasant in this film, they are the two original actors from the original film which I might have to look into which stars Leon The Professional Fame Jean Reno.
