A Dog's Life

In this short, Chaplin beats police officers, steals from regular workin' men, runs around in the middle of the street like a spaz and brings animals into establishments clearly not meant for them. He's a bit of an anarchist, isn't he? All in all, this short is cute but the gags aren't that memorable or hilarious. Or maybe it's just that I'm more of a cat person.

Chaplin is pretty funny, most of the gags are entertaining and that dog is damn cute. Not the most perfect silent comedy but the few rough spots are outweighed by some really brilliant parts.

Over rated, as with the majority of Chaplin's stuff, and of course the majority think it's awesome because "look, the guy walks funny and has a funny mustache." which worked in 1918, but doesn't work 90 years later. I wont deny that Chaplin does have some great gags, but they're not in this.

I didn't find this funny. The great thing about Chaplin is that when it's not funny, it's moving. I didn't find this moving either. Using animals... it's cheap and uninspired.
