Leave your thoughts about Never Weaken.
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzModerately funny Harold Lloyd two-reeler. |
| User ReviewGarrett CA sort of precursor to the "thriller" brand of comedy perfected in "Safety Last!," this Harold Lloyd short is as massively entertaining as anything I've seen by him. This also features by far the funniest suicide attempt scene I've ever seen! |
| User ReviewPrivate UVery clever. Another favorite short of his. |
| User ReviewSarah HClassic Lloyd short from 1921. Our spectacled hero attempts to gain clients for his girlfriend's boss in order to save her job by any means necessary. Then, in the belief she is to be wedded to another man, contemplates suicide in the build up to a daring high-rise finale. Comedy gold. |
| User ReviewRose WVery funny intertitles, as Lloyd intertitles always are. |
| User ReviewDave JWednesday, July 4, 2012 (1921) Never Weaken SILENT COMEDY Created by Hal Roach starring Harold Lloyd and Mildred Davis which're some of the best comedy duos, this time Lloyd has a job as a janitor working next door to secretary of an onthopologist whose on the brink of laying her off because business is not so good, and Lloyd devotes his time into getting enough clients that she needs so that she can keep her job. Some of the memorable highlights include Lloyd balancing on top of a skyscraper, trick tactics of using the acrobat to help him draw more customers by handing out cards for his girlfriend etc... 3 out of 4 |
| User ReviewMatthew DHarold Lloyd is a classic comedian, his jokes in this film are not dated. Mildred Davis has a way of charming me. She also weirdly looks like Drew Barrymore. A laugh out loud film. |
| User ReviewCharlotte JI thought (with itnnot being one of these "talkies") that it would be crap, but i actually really enjoyed it! |
| User ReviewMark VAnother blah Harold Lloyd short, I just can't get into his stuff like I can with Chaplin and Keaton. There is one great gag though with him stuck in way up in the air at a construction site. |
| User ReviewGreg WFeaturing the usual movie magic Lloyd so fondly would use to trick audiences into trembling anxiety, "Never Weaken" is filled with the usual almost-falling-off-of-buildings-tricks as well as the expected silent film staple; whoops we're falling on ice again gag. Nothing revolutionary or spectacular, Lloyd's two-reeler is simple and delightful at most. |
