I don't watch movies often, but last night five of us got together and watched a DVD from Blockbuster called "Just Visiting." It is the tale of a knight and peasant from the 12th century that get transported (if that's the word) into Chicago in the year 2000. We all enjoyed it hugely. One friend said she hadn't laughed that much in years.

There are visual references to famous paintings in it, and when we saw one, we hollered "Art!"

If you are looking for escape, try it.

Thanks for the recommendation -- I needed a film for tomorrow night. Checked out the reviews, and it looks good, so reserved it. Want a report? ;)

That's a good one, but an even better one, imo, is the French film from which they got the idea for the one you saw. It is The Visitors, starring Jean Reno. You may read more about it here. It is classy, hilarious, poignant, and I cannot recommend it too highly! Reno brings something to it, as well as the way it plays out in French which just makes it a classic.

I hope you will check it out. Last I knew even Blockbuster had it.:-)

We'll have to try The Visitors someday. Thanks for the recommendation.

pdc: sure, give us a report. Just don't be too thought-provoking.

Hi leeneia:

Here's my entire thought-provoking report:

It's a good thing we rented this movie, because we laughed so hard that we had to keep rolling back the film to see the parts we were missing. I've never heard my husband laugh that loud -- I'm glad we weren't in a theatre. Thanks for a good recommendation!

Has the Visitors any connection with the Dinner Game? Same director maybe??
