Just Visiting Movie Review 2001

Remake of the 1993 French flick "Les Visiteurs" has Reno and Clavier reprising their roles as a medieval knight and his servant who find themselves in modern-day Chicago. Original was a huge hit in France, but bombed here. This one should do much better here, since there's much less reading of subtitles involved, and this one makes good use of the excellent leads and the transplanted Chicago locales.
