Just Visiting is worth a visit

Posted: Tuesday, May 15, 2001

Sword-wielding lords and meat-eating servants clash with the 21st century Chicago life-style in a total gross-out comedy called Just Visiting.

In this laugh-out-loud movie, the 12th century lord, Teibo Mal'Fett and his servant Andre get help from a wizard to go back in time to save Mal'Fett's wife.

As of a result of a spell mix-up, the wizard accidentally sends Teibo and Andre to the year 2000.

La'Fett's descendent, Julia, struggles to help them get back to their own time, while teaching them about hers in the process.

Jean Reno' and Christine Applegate give astounding performances in this motion picture. Playing Teibo Mal'Fett, Jean Reno' actually made you believe that he didn't know what common things such toilets and sinks were or what they were for.

And Christine Applegate, as Julia Mal'Fett, also did her role believably. She acted wonderfully when it came to showing the knights around in our world.

When it comes to transporting through time, the special effects were some the best we had seen, from turning into stone to disappearing into a splash of water. Although, some parts could've used a little more effort, such as a noticeably fake background, there were no bad special effects.

The music was quite accurate, meaning 12th century music for 12th century scenes, and the plot was very engrossing.

All in all, it was a great movie, and we recommend it to anyone who needs a good laugh.

Here are the ratings we gave Just Visiting, with 5.0 as highest.
