Movie Reviews

Ozus' World Movie Reviews - 7/10 by Dennis SchwartzThis excellent comedy was a transitional film that led the way to Chaplin's greatest films.
User Review - 10/10 by Sanford RChaplin's timeless masterpiece is, alongside Keaton's 'Sherlock, Jr', the best mid-length film ever made. Big heart, flawless pantomime and perfect mise-en-scene are just some of the reasons I've often jokingly referred to 'The Pilgrim' as the 'only six-star film in existence'.
User Review - 8/10 by Ryan HChaplin plays an escaped convict who is mistaken for a minister in a small town.
User Review - 8/10 by David SChaplin's very amusing short where he stars as an escaped con trying to avoid detection in the guise of a preacher.
User Review - 8/10 by Byron BThis is another Chaplin film dealing with a touchy subject, religion, and still being hilarious without being offensive to anyone as well. This was his last short for First National and was an early indication at how his style had developed and progressed and a basis for what his feature lengths would entail. Charlie is mistaken for a minister when indeed he is a wanted man, albeit one with a good conscious and he demonstrates it when fighting off a robber from his border's house. Eventually he is knocked out and the money stolen but he goes after the crook and through some clever devising gets the money back and returns it to it's rightful owner. A policeman has no choice but to arrest him but shows mercy in light of his good deed and lets him out at the Mexican border so he can stay a free man. Of course the second he steps over three men come out shooting at one another and Charlie takes off hopping between both boundaries away from the chaos.
User Review - 6/10 by Richard SClassic old 1920's Charley Chaplin film.
User Review - 6/10 by Julie Kdivertidinho, ok, mas não é dos melhores.
User Review - 6/10 by Ivan DA string of fair-to-good bits that doesn't add up to much, but it's okay. Seems a little long for what it is, but there weren't any terribly dull parts.
User Review - 6/10 by Davey MOn a certainement vu mieux de la part de Chaplin, mais si certains gags sont plutôt facile, certains sont bien pensé. Toutefois, rien de bien mémorable quand on compare à d'autres coups de génie qu'il a pu offrir.
User Review - 6/10 by Michael HAn escaped convict is mistaken for the new pastor of a Western town. As with most Chaplin shorts it's basically a series of gags strung together but built around a slightly stronger than usual plot.
