My rating: 8.5/10
Will I watch it again? YES!!!
I laughed my ass off. The 'shimmie' bit was great but it was the poker scene about 14 minutes in that stole the show. Lloyd besting the gambler by rolling multiple cigarettes at once had me in stitches. This is some really funny shit. It's hard to believe that it's almost 100 years old. Since I busted open the Laurel & Hardy box set the other day I cracked open the first set of Harold Lloyd and I'm enjoying the hell out of it. L&H are fun but Lloyd's stuff is howlingly funny.
