Directed by Hal Roach & Fred C. Newmeyer. Written by H.M. Walker. Starring Harold Lloyd.

Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 1/4 (Bad)
Characters: 1/4 (Bad)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 3/4 (Good)
Acting: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). It continues with what is apparently the norm for Harold Lloyd films circa 1920: unmemorable but pleasant. No slapstick, no stunts - just antics.
Objective Rating (Average): 2.1/4 (Indifferent)
