Charlie, the not-so-punctual and dependable pawnbroker's assistant, starts his day with his usual duties at the pawnshop--a bit of dusting; some polishing up, and above all, a lot of quarrelling with his co-worker. Before long, a customer arrives--what a fabulous opportunity for Charlie to exhibit his subtle technical skills, and to give his critical scientific evaluation with the use of a rusty can-opener.

Leave your thoughts about The Pawnshop.
| User ReviewHans J. EA storyless series of pretty hilarious sight gags. |
| User ReviewPaul BPure wish fulfillment for us loveable twerps, as Chaplin beats up on bigger men by the power of comedy alone. Physical genius, of course, particularly with the ladder and the clock. |
| User ReviewKevin NCharlie Chaplin offered a series of comic essays on the trades and professions; he presented a fantastic gallery of the skilled and unskilled in a few minutes of this silent comedy film. When a man brought in an alarm clock and Charlie accepted it. Examined it he became, successively, a heart specialist, a doctor, a specialist in antiques, a driller, a housewife, a dentist, a plumber, a jeweller, a ribbon clerk, and a cook. It was one of the greatest scenes Chaplin ever made. |
| User ReviewPhilip OOne of the better Chaplin shorts. It has an abrupt ending, but it is still good. |
| User ReviewJohn SThe clock-repair scene is hilarious but, otherwise, the slapstick punches and ladder gags seem like tired cliches now. Oh no, and here comes the stern but hapless street cop.... |
| User ReviewJohn AA middling Chaplin short. Charlie performs some nice gags with a ladder, and then later an alarm clock, but overall the film seems little more than a pastiche of gags. Fun to be sure, but not outstanding. |
| User ReviewRian PIt was an okey Film. I would recommend it more for little kids who enjoy slap stick comedy and Looney Tunes because that's the kind of comedy this film had. I liked how the film ended. |
| User ReviewJonathan POne of Chaplin's first films The Pawnshop has some funny gags but isn't anything spectacular. Chaplin's physical comedy is as good as anyone and with such an early film in the annuals of history you could tell he was still perfecting the trade. The fight sequences between Chaplin and John Rand are enough to give it a watch. |
