Amusing enough.

Baltimore Sun by Chris Kaltenbach
A mess.

A happy vulgarity still reigns.

New York Daily News by Jami Bernard
There ought to be a law about transporting humor internationally.
12
Don't even think of visiting this French fiasco.

Chicago Sun-Times by Roger Ebert
Preserves the flavor of the original and even improves upon it.
40
Washington Post by Stephen Hunter
A lot of it is low, crude, admittedly comic in the rudest positive sense, which involves a lot of falling down to humorous effect.

Philadelphia Inquirer by Steven Rea
I nodded off watching Just Visiting.

It does yield solidly comic performances.
