Featured review
Chaplin
Chaplin is a funny man that can do a lot with very little. His humour is slapstick and he is very good at it.
Here we follow a convict on the run through diverse escapades in which he amongst other things saves a woman's mother and steals the woman from her suitor.
His jokes are very simple and effective, that said they can be a bit repetitious and today obvious.
Funniest part is in the beginning when he bumps into police everywhere and repeats his mistakes all the time and also the bit with the sliding doors.
