Charlot dentista

I've seen quite a few Chaplin shorts from early in his career and I've noticed that his early stuff (done for Keystone Studios) is pretty dreadful stuff. Unlike his wonderful full-length films from the 20s and 30s, the films from 1914-1915 are incredibly poorly made--having no script but only vague instructions from the director. In most cases, the films had almost no plot and degenerated to people punching and kicking each other.

This short is quite a bit better than the norm. While at times the plot degenerates to a lot of punching and kicking for absolutely no reason at all, the film also has a few decent laughs as Charlie pretends to be a dentist. Nothing outstandingly funny, but compared to the generally boring stuff he did for the studio, it's a big improvement.

A chaotic early Chaplin film for Keystone, and as with most of his movies for Mack Sennett's studio, it's not exactly subtle. The little comic spends most of his time throwing bricks and kicking arses, and it's clear that everyone involved was winging it. There are a few laughs, and the action is too frantic to get boring.

This is easily the worst Charlie Chaplin film I have watched till now.

It uses the same style of comedy Charlie later became synonymous with. But it's so poorly made that you can not laugh even if you wish to. It's all about kicking, hitting, throwing bricks and falling over each other which to this day, remain the most overused cliches in slapstick.

A so-so Chaplin entry where the material is not as good as it should be. The interaction with Chaplin and the pretty dental patient is good, but the film as a whole is crying out for better slapstick. 6 out of 10 stars.

I think Chaplin is over rated because i have saw couple of movies but none of his act entertained me. I was constantly looking at watch to when it will end. But i must say that this was somewhat better than his films i watched earlier. But my suggestion is avoid it if you can. Do something fruitful. This is my 1st review. The sole purpose of writing the review is to save your time as i havewasted mine.
