Silent Sunday: Ask Father (1919)

Cast:  Harold Lloyd

Haven't done a Silent Sunday in a while!  Welcome back!  TCM is showing some Harold Lloyd films, so I'm going to watch and review them!

THE PLOT:  In one of his first comedies, Harold Lloyd plays his most popular character, The Boy, in a desperate attempt to woo a girl, as usual.  This film is pretty much a silent version of Office Spaced as The Boy tries all kinds of schemes, including dressing up as a knight, in order to woo the boss' daughter.

THE REVIEW:  I find Harold Lloyd slightly more enjoyable than Buster Keaton.  Buster makes me laugh, but he shows no emotion doing it.  Harold makes me laugh showing emotion, and I thin that that is very endearing about him and this film had me laughing like crazy.  5 out of 5 stars.
