Few things enrage a serious film fan as much as the Hollywood remake of a French film.
It's time to find out because Just Visiting is a remake of Les Visiteurs . Both movies were written by Christian Clavier and Jean-Marie Poir , with Poir directing both and Jean Reno and Clavier starring in both. So the major change is a shift to America with the addition of some American actresses. I can say that I'm a bit surprised that this story could be a huge hit anywhere. It's certainly not a story we haven't seen before in one way or another.
