Thomas V @TomVee Oct 19, 2026 The reason to see this film is the epic chase sequence that takes up most of the final reels. Its scale is immense, the locations are varied, the use of crane and dolly shots is as good as any, as well as the editing. Sadly, the use of blackface in the film is pretty hard to ignore. I get that it was a century ago, but it can't help but mar it for the modern viewer. See more

Zachary V @RT80629691 Jul 20, 2025 This lightweight comedy only really takes off in the last third of the film. Fortunately, the short runtime means we do not have to wait too long for that to happen. See more

Alexander B @RT91585287 Nov 29, 2022 It's a little lop sided with the first half being pretty boring but the second half is really funny and entertaining. See more

william d @acsdoug Feb 21, 2021 Keaton being chased by hundreds of would be brides is an absolute crack up. See more

William L @RT77267842 Jan 26, 2021 A bit slow to get going, but the final chase scene is pure perfection, gradually increasing in size and silliness before (of course) coming to a happy resolution; the horde of potential brides running through an active football field leveling all the players is a great bit - short, no setup needed, but still funny. Keaton's deadpan expression might be my favorite recurring bit throughout the entire silent era, it matches so well with his physical comedy. That said, it's probably not the best film to present Keaton's legacy today, with its blackface/minstrel character and a joke in which he suggests matrimonial intent to a girl before realizing she is reading a newspaper in Hebrew.
