Members Sylph Posted July 21, 2010 Members Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yesterday, completely by chance I bumped onto Les Visiteurs! Is there anyone around here who loves the film? And I mean the first part, it kind of disintegrated in the second and especially the third part. <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" Please register in order to view this content name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> I think the whole film is on YouTube. Part 6 is here, e.g. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 21, 2010 Members Share Posted July 21, 2010 I was in French Immersion school and this is one of the films we went on a field trip to see--I remember enjoying it, but I haven't seen it since I was 13 or 14, and didn't realize there was a sequel. I know the same director, and some of the same cast did the American remake Just Visiting, with Christina Applegate, but I remember the general consensus was that it wasn't very good at all. I alwys find it interesting when the original people are involved in a remake yet can't capture what made the original work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted July 21, 2010 Author Members Share Posted July 21, 2010 You have to understand that I haven't seen it in ages, too! And was I over the moon when I bumped onto it! The second part is not really so bad, though I was really, really annoyed that Valérie Lemercier left. Did something happen there? I didn't really manage to find the reason for the recast. You must see it again and let me know how did you find it. I presume the reaction will be something like: Cute, but not really all that great. It was a huuuuge hit in France. And Jacquouille's Okééé! or however you spell it is just... LMAO! <object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value=" Please register in order to view this content name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted July 21, 2010 Members Share Posted July 21, 2010 Ha I remember that bit! Yeah I assumed it must have been a big hit since it played local theatres here (in BC, not in Montreal where I assume it woulda played for sometime). I'll try to find a download or check it out on youtube and get back to this thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted July 21, 2010 Members Share Posted July 21, 2010 It was very popular in France. I love Valérie Lemercier too, she is wonderful. I think she did not want to make the sequel and Muriel Robin, who is a very funny woman but in a different style, took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
