Amazing to think that this film is 100 years old this year. Very funny film. The film could have had more speech cards, but maybe that's because my favorite silent comedy movies are Laurel and Hardy, which use more speech cards than most. But the ending is just so...what? The man with the beard kills himself. But, of course, this is an innocent Chaplin comedy film, so he survives, right? Nope, Chaplin takes all of his money and helps him kill himself.

Pretty incomprehensible, which is itself pretty common in Chaplin's short films. This has some good moments--the sausage thieving and twirling--but it also has a few of those "Charlie's being hateful for no good reason" moments. Add to that the complete randomness of the encounters or Charlie's willing and comedic role in a man's attempted suicide and you get a bizarre, occasionally funny short film.

Chaotic but amusing.

Yet again, Chaplin plays a bizarrely belligerent jerk out for a day in the park. Some bits like the pickpocketing routine are fun, but there's still not much to this.

It was okay and a bit more mean spirited than funny got ultimately I found this very repetitive.
