Critics Consensus

This remake of the French comedy Les Visiteurs ends up being a middling, forgettable effort -- not as good as the original.

I thought the movie "Just Visiting" was hilarious and charming. I love off beat humorous films such as "Where's Papa", "Harold and Maud", "Mars Attacks", "What They do in the Shadows", "Bowfinger", and this one is in this category. It made me laugh out loud, and I enjoyed watching this a few times. I haven't seen it recently, but have great memories enjoying it years ago.

En passant aux Etats-Unis, les Visiteurs ont perdu toute leur misanthropie, toute leur satire et toute leur originalité. De ce fait, Les Visiteurs en Amérique est pour la première fois dans la franchise un film sympathique, aimable et agréable. Extrêmement inoffensif, le film de Jean-Marie Poiré (qui a enfin des monteurs compétents) est infiniment supérieur à ses deux aînés grâce à cela. On a déjà vu tout ceci mais pas avec cet esprit-là. Un peu de compétence ajoutée et 20 minutes en moins que le film original changent absolument tout et nous sommes devant un moment acceptable tant qu'il se sépare de son modèle (autant vous dire que les 30 premières minutes sont catastrophiques). Christina Applegate, Matt Ross et Tara Reid sont excellents.

This is truly a lumpy stew of after-school special, classic French comedy and Stooge slapstick.
