Dr. Jack
Dr. Jack, 1922. A healthy woman is treated as if she were sick.
Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer. Written by Hal Roach, Sam Taylor & Jean C. Havez, with H.M. Walker. Starring Harold Lloyd & Mildred Davis.
Concept: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Story: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Characters: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Dialog: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Pacing: 3/4 (Good)
Cinematography: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Special effects/design: 2/4 (Indifferent)
Acting: 3/4 (Good)
Music: 3/4 (Good)
Subjective Rating: 6/10 (Okay, 2/4). Easily one of the best crafted Harold Lloyd films in terms of storytelling. It's heavy on pathos, and, despite being punctuated by slapstick gags and culminating in zany antics, is more effective than most dramas of the era (not that that's saying much).
Objective Rating (Average): 2.3/4 (Okay)
