Just Visiting is a 2001 action comedy film, starring Jean Reno, Christina Applegate, Christian Clavier, Malcolm McDowell, Tara Reid, and Bridgette Wilson. It follows a medieval knight and his serf who travel to 21st-century Chicago, meeting the knight's descendant. It is a remake of the French film Les Visiteurs (which both featured Reno and Clavier), and both versions are directed by Jean-Marie Gaubert. It was also written by John Hughes, making it his final film he has written and also the last film to have his name credited.
The film earned around $4.8 million domestically in the U.S. and approximately $11.4 million internationally. Despite a production budget of $35 million, the film did not achieve box office success and fell short of recouping its budget through ticket sales.
