Synopsis
JUST VISITING is an American retelling of the 1993 French comedy blockbuster LES VISITEURS. It stars Jean Reno and Christian Clavier who reprise their popular roles for original director Jean-Marie Gaubert.
In the film, a French nobleman, Count Thibault of Malfete (Jean Reno), and his servant Andre (Christian Clavier) find themselves in modern-day Chicago - transported from the 12th century due to a wizard's flawed time-travel potion. Confused, lost and overwhelmed, they meet Thibault's descendant Julia Malfete (Christina Applegate) and her scheming fiance Hunter (Matthew Ross).
Thibault and Andre soon realize they must quickly find a way back to their own time - otherwise Julia and Thibault's entire lineage will never exist. With their timeless values of honor and courage, Thibault and Andre wreak hilarious havoc as they foil diabolical plots in both the 12th and 21st centuries.
