Just Visiting

REVIEW
After botching a spell that lands a dishonored knight and his faithful peasant in present-day Chicago, a senile wizard travels the corridors of time to get them back. Of course, a lot has changed since the 12th century, but the pair are quickly absorbed by gags involving automobiles, indoor plumbing and equal rights. Reno and Clavier are dumbed down a bit further from their roles in the original Les Visiteurs, while Applegate and Reid try and soften the blow only to get crushed by this heavy-handed sequel. A tepid mix that eventually saturates every potential subplot into one big blob of cinematic mediocrity. Travel at your own risk. (Filmed in English)
