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.
Plot: This outrageous time-travel comedy follows the misadventures of a wacky medieval knight (Jean Reno) and his faithful servant when they are accidentally transported to contemporary times by a senile sorcerer. Mayhem rules as these 12th-century visitors try adapting to the wildly confusing modern world. To avoid being stuck here for good, however, they soon begin an all-out cosmic assault on their former castle — now a luxury hotel — in their quest to return to the past.

Subtitles and All
Sometime soon we’ll agree not to be mad at the French. When that happens, look for “Les Visiteurs” on cable or at the video place. The frantic humor of this time-shifting comedy works well both on the French dialogue track and through the somewhat loose paraphrases of the subtitles. Yes, folks, subtitles and all, this is a good one.Christian Clavier emerged from the Splendide, a French take on Second City, to seize the film comedy market by the throat. Like Jerry Lewis, he is in need of a straight man. Lewis’s moved on to the Ding-a-Ling Sisters. Clavier has granite-faced Jean Reno of “French Kiss” and “Mission Impossible”, the man with the permanent dix-sept heures shadow across his jowls. Their interaction is spot-on hilarious.
Oddly, the memorable quote from this film is in (sort of) English. “OK” is acceptable Franglais, the Academie notwithstanding. Clavier’s character becomes fascinated with the word, shouting “O-Kayyy”! at the least provocation. Listen to my wife and I converse: we echo old Jacqouille all the time.
Funniest ‘Foreign’ Movie I’ve Seen
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 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.
Most of the jokes center around the guys trying to figure out today’s modern conveniences, such as toilets, and the problems they have trying to figure them out. Also, there are big problems with the men’s relatives, who are trying to figure out who these strange-acting guys are all about!
As for family viewing: not suitable. There is no sex and no nudity, but there is rough language which is why it’s rated “R.”
