Decent Films Guide - 8/10 by Steven D. GreydanusThe first silent film I ever saw that made me actually stand up and cheer… As a first introduction to silent film, I would pick The Kid Brother over the best of Chaplin or Keaton every time.
Playback:stl - 6/10 by Sarah Boslaugh... ends in one heck of an action sequence....
User Review - 10/10 by Russell SA splendidly executed silent comedy filled with Lloyd's typical blend of great visual gags and characters. Entertaining throughout and as with all of Lloyd's features, well worth your time.
User Review - 10/10 by DaveOne of the best movies ever made. It has it all, except sound.
User Review - 10/10 by Irvin CMy catching up with the Third Genius, Harold Lloyd continues with this absolutely wonderful film. The youngest (and nerdiest) in a family filled with traditional macho men tries to prove his "manliness" and worth at the same time trying to win over a girl. Though "Safety Last!" may still be my favorite Harold Lloyd movie (so far), this one comes very close. The third act of this film is absolutely hysterical and at the same time genuinely suspenseful. Harold Lloyd should not have to stand in the shadows of Chaplin and Keaton. He is absolutely their equal.
User Review - 10/10 by Benjamin WWhile I've only ever seen one other Harold Lloyd film ("Safety Last"), this gem certainly can hold its own against the likes of Keaton's "The General", if not some of Chaplin's lesser works. What was probably most surprising (since the physical comedy was something I already knew he could do well), was that the antagonist of this film was perhaps one of the best I've ever seen in silent comedy.
User Review - 10/10 by Volkmar Emanuel KVer películas cercanas al comienzo del sonoro nos pone en aprietos siempre. La idea de que un cambio tecnológico siempre implica avances es discutible. En el caso del sonido, hasta se podría asegurar que su aparición en el cine fue un retroceso, o quizás un parate en el desarrollo del lenguaje (complejo) del cine mudo. Michel Chion dice que en realidad debería llamarse "cine hablado" al "cine sonoro", porque "...el cine desde su nacimiento fue sonoro" (desde el comienzo se utilizó la música para acompañar las proyecciones)". La película The Kid Brother es una de las tantas pruebas del desarrollo complejísimo al que se había arribado en el "cine mudo" para el año 1927. Una película con varias tramas que se entrelazan, cuya música nunca se vuelve monótona; la misma -apelando a las variaciones sobre un leit motiv- siempre está resaltando o marcando momentos específicos de la trama. Una película divertida pero no superficial, de la mano de un Harold Lloyd afiladísimo en su performance. Una joya para volver a ver una y otra vez.
User Review - 10/10 by David MThis is my favorite Harold Lloyd film, and probably the funniest silent comedy I've seen.
User Review - 10/10 by Drew ABest silent film ever from the 1920's.
User Review - 10/10 by Brendan SThis was a fantastic movie. Probably the best silent movie I've ever seen. It just sucks you in and takes you for a fun, fun ride.
