Review of Sherlock Jr. (1924) by Grant S — 28 Mar 2018

I'd never watched any real silent films before, because I feared that if I did the film would be outdated in its humor and wouldn't warrant that many laughs out of me. But man did this film blow away my expectations, this is one of the funniest films I've seen In my whole life.

Now the only real comedies that make me burst out laughing every 5 minutes are usually Jim Carrey films, but this film I burst out laughing every 5 seconds. The pool scene is one of the most tension building scenes ever put in film, but is also very funny to watch.

I never thought I would recommend a silent film, but this film is a must for comedy fans and fans of silent comedies.
