No I haven't seen this yet but I am VERY keen to have a look at it so I thought I'd start the thread. I understand that the film has been released in the US.

I have see the original French Film 'Les Visiteurs" which is one of the best French comedies I have seen.

So guys what did you think of the remake?

cheers Peter

How come nobody has reviewed it?

I'll answer my own question

No one has reviewed it because just about no-one has seen it! Disney's fingers must be stinging! $80+ million down the drain.

Now if they had cast Nicole Kidman in the lead female role things might have been a bit different...

This film has finally been released in Australia so I went along to see it.

I thought it wasn't too bad. Christian Clavier's first outing in an American film was a fair effort and the film is a good remake of the original although a lot of the black humor has been toned down for American audiences. Good performances by Jean Reno & Christina Applegate also.

Still the film had a good plot and the humor was still there.

7 stars out of 10
