The funniest Chaplin movie I've seen, but otherwise weaker than the rest.

One of the best comedies ever made, and Chaplin himself is a comedic genius. His tramp is one of the most lovable characters ever put on film.

I like Chaplin a lot more when he holds back on the sentiment, when he stops trying to be intelligent, and instead just sticks to the comedy. This was a pleasant surprise and ranks up alongside The Circus for me.

Cute, but not great. Some memorable scenes, a few laughs, and Chaplin's mannerisms are always a joy to watch. His narration seemed superfluous most of the time, though.

Saw the sound version, it was terrible. The silent version is better, but I just don't find this kind of stuff very funny.

A charming old comedy classic, and definitely worth checking out if you like silent films. Chaplin was a very funny man.

I watched the silent version of this and it has a whole lot of charm. Makes me hungry for shoe.

The Tramp is very trampy. Fun, but without the bittersweet side that marks the best Little Tramp films.

I'm sorry but I don't find the Little Tramp funny at all any more

Chaplin's second masterpiece is full of laughs, emotion and classic gags. While not quite as emotional as the film before it - The Kid - it has a lot more going for it. Chaplin was a genius, plain and simple.

Stretches a few gags thin but as soon as the dance hall comes in, everything improves.

An old time comedy from the days of silent movies. The narration over the video tells the story, albeit with awkward gaps. Charlie Chaplin is a comical little man playing out the role of one lucky fellow who just happens to be in the right place at the right time. His tender heart also opens the door to romance. Considering it was made in 1925 you can forgive some of the production flaws and enjoy this classic comedy from a bygone era. "And so it was" was priceless.

Despite its infinitely classic scenes, I still found many nuggets which gave me a surprised laugh. The love story also has a good arch. Hollywood ending was a bit much but I think he found the right note to hit it with.
