The duo find themselves caught up in the flight of the descendants of Godefroy de Montmirail, arrogant aristocrats threatened by events, and the struggle of those of Jacquouille La Fripouille, who are staunch revolutionaries following Robespierre...

A chilling embarrassment. Les Visiteurs : La Révolution quickly devolves into a series of terrible sketches, so badly edited that it ends up being misshapen and incomprehensible. A lazy waste of 25 million, it is badly filmed despite the initial promise offered by an epic battle, it mistreats its cast (Karin Viard, Franck Dubosc, Alex Lutz, Marie Anne-Chazel) by giving them awful supporting roles, and tries to get away with an unenergetic plot that is too vague to even be interesting. From A to Z, this third episode, whose main comedic drive is that its lead characters smell, is a pure disaster. And in case anyone had any respect left for Jean-Marie Poiré’s and Christian Clavier’s efforts, an interminable epilogue (too long or too short, either way it doesn’t work) takes care of that. Les Visiteurs are dead: please let them rest in peace.
