Bereamic Awesome Movie

ThedevilChoose When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Forumrxes Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

Horst in Translation (filmreviews@web.de) "Get Out and Get Under" is a 25-minute short film from 1920, so 4 more years and this one will have its 100th anniversary. The names Roach and Walker should be known to silent film fans in general and if you read the name of lead actor Harold Lloyd you will know for sure what to expect. This is the story of a young man who needs to get to theater in time or else he will lose his role to another actor. Lots of chaos ensues of course in Lloyd's character's attempts to be on time. I mentioned four factors in the title of this review and all these are very common frequently in silent (short) films, so you can basically call this movie the epitome of a silent short movie from around that era. But you can also call it generic, stereotypical and uncreative and it's hard to argue against it. I think this one here was not really such a good watch. I have seen Lloyd do better on several occasions. The script probably isn't helping him much this time.

CitizenCaine The premise of this Harold Lloyd film is simple. Harold is late for a theater engagement where he's supposed to be playing a character in a local stage production. On his way to the theater, he's sidetracked by the many mishaps that befall him and his car. Sight gags abound before Harold can even get his car out of the garage. When he finally does, it's an unexpected delight. Of course there are other mishaps along the way, and Harold runs into little Ernest Morrison from the Our Gang comedies who pesters Harold with his dog as Harold attempts to fix his car on the side of a road. Perhaps a bizarre scene, although funny, is when Harold takes an injectable syringe from a street addict and uses it to rejuvenate his car. It works and of course Harold ends up chasing and catching up to his car not once but twice. In the end, Harold rushes on stage just in time to take credit for the performance that his stand-in gave in his absence. This is a typical Harold Lloyd film, funny with a lot of sight gags. **1/2 of 4 stars.

Snow Leopard This is a good Harold Lloyd comedy that gets plenty of mileage out of the material, and it has quite a few amusing moments. It is one of many silent comedies that take one situation and then stretch it out as far as possible.The top silent comedians such as Lloyd could often find quite a variety of possibilities in a simple premise.In this case, most of the story has Harold in a desperate rush to get where he is going. The number of obstacles he encounters is pretty creative, from the expected, such as an uncooperative automobile, to unexpected obstacles such as a friendly little boy and a cute dog. There is some decent slapstick, and there are also some good sight gags, a couple of which might be the movie's best moments. It works pretty well overall.

Ron Oliver A Hal Roach HAROLD LLOYD 2-Reeler.A young man races across town in his beloved new Model T - occasionally having to GET OUT AND GET UNDER to repair it - to keep an appointment with his girlfriend.Harold Lloyd is simply hilarious as the single-minded fellow who will go to any length to protect his Ford car, even giving it a shot of heroin at one point to keep its motor running. Of course, every indignity & frustration is heaped upon him as he makes his determined way towards his destination, making for some wonderful sight gags. As always, his athletic prowess is remarkable, especially considering this film was produced after the accident which cost him half of his right hand.Mildred Davis, who would later marry Harold, plays his girlfriend. Sunshine Sammy Morrison, one of the earliest OUR GANG members, is very funny as the kid with the banana.Vince Giordano and His Nighthawk Orchestra have supplied an excellent antique film score which perfectly complements Harold's antics on the screen.
