an outstanding feat of special effects, especially considering the time, and exceptional work on buster's part in the areas of directing, stunts, and comedy. no doubt this movie, it's being silent aside, has stood the test of time.

Brilliant short, and an absolute classic. All these years and it's still hilarious.

An amazing two-reeler. I'm pretty sure the Industry would have a fit if anyone attempted these stunts now.

Buster Keaton and his new bride labor to build a house from a kit. There's not much of a narrative arc to speak of, but the premise allows for some pretty funny physical gags. And inventive ones, too, such as when the entire cockeyed structure is rotating around on a giant lazy susan. Keaton is endearing and charming as ever, and although we don't get to see Sybil Seely do that much, she certainly is a cutie-pie. The ending makes a terrific capper to this fun little short with plenty of laughs.

Pickpocket | 7 68th |

Pretty funny and clever. The first stunt with the car was really impressive. It also could be viewed as the best or worst house ever depending on how you look at it. Woman in bath tub was a really nice bit but I think they may have failed to cover up the goods, someone confirm.

Buster Keaton's funhouse. Funny and creative concept executed marvelously. Feels, in some ways, like a warmup for the extended setpiece at the end of Steamboat Bill Jr. (in particular, the falling wall gag comes to mind).

A great short; very funny and technically innovative, with lots of gags that'll make you say "wow." It is also a nice little romance in which love overcomes all adversity.

Neither the funniest Keaton short nor the one with the most impressive stunt work ('Sherlock Jr.' clearly deserves those praises), but a nice little story with some great gags.

Very impressive, with more pratfalls per minute than anything i've ever seen.

Sybil Seely is Buster's greatest leading lady.
