Short Review

Whilst not a bad movie, it's a movie that feels as if it's just trying too hard at times. Harold is still finding his way in this early "talkie" period and the newness if it all shows. There are some genuinely great moments scattered throughout and the finale is a very clever and inventive re-working of the finale in "Safety Last". It's a fun watch but overall not as tight and cohesive as his silent era movies.
