One of my favorite silent films. The ending is one of the finest moments in cinema history.

Don't you just get butter for knees when you watch this film? One of his best in my opinion!

naikou was exactly right when he wrote that Chaplin is less funny than Looney Tunes. In many cases, less intelligent, too. Painfully boring to sit through, with one unfunny and lame comic vignette after another. Fewer bonus points for its age, too, since sound was around, but Chaplin chose not to use it.

For most part, a conventional love story revolving around class roles with a couple of decent gags. The best comedic scene by far is the boxing match and the best scene overall is the final scene. That moment is fantastic filmmaking.

What a joy! It might very well achieve a higher score when I get more into this genre. Chaplin is simply the funniest man in the history of cinema.

While I didn't laugh very much (except at the hilarious boxing match scene), I did find the romance between the Tramp and the flower girl to be very touching. The ending warmed my cold, black heart.

I hope we get to go through another Depression so that we can have such great romantic-comedies like this.

Charming and memorable for its beautiful simplicity. One of the most moving films ever.
