Leave your thoughts about A Day's Pleasure.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzThe film lacked Charlie's usual social commentary and relied totally on sight gags, which never registered as funny. |
| User ReviewHans J. EAn early Chaplin short that showcased the Tramp not as a bum with a heart of gold but as a normal middle-class man who only wanted his family to have "A Day's Pleasure". The climactic "tar" sequence was hilarious and masterfully choreographed. |
| User ReviewChris BIt doesn't technically deserve to be in Charlie's top tier of shorts, because it's rather shallow and has a very thin plot, but the bottom line is that it's hilarious. Some jokes are less funny than others, but the ones that land, land gloriously. |
| User ReviewMichael HAlthough Chaplin hadn't yet perfected his cinematic timing and pacing, that doesn't detract much from the joys of this Chaplin short. A few sequences go on a bit long but the opening sequence in particular is a gem. |
| User ReviewKenneth SThe fourth short in the set seems like a step back in many ways. It was apparently a film made very quickly while he was preparing for his first feature, and it kind of shows. There?s nothing too bad about it, but it?s awefully slapstick and doesn?t show the same level of satiric wit that?s in Shoulder Arms or A Dog?s Life. Still, it has some amusing bits. |
| User ReviewGrant SNot one of Chaplin's best movie, but still pretty good. It's just hard to imagine the Tramp like a family man. |
| User ReviewNoah BChaplin's weakest effort by far. The comedy isn't that great and it feels a bit redundant. |
