Leave your thoughts about Twenty Minutes of Love.
| User ReviewJohn STwenty Minutes of Love was Chaplin's first written and directed movie and in a way, it shows. It shows early traces of his trademark ingenuity, but it's still in it's primitive and crude stages, i.e. not fully realized. Twenty Minutes of Love is another one of Charlie's less impressive shorts, but still manages to be thoroughly enjoyable and amusing due to Charlie's impeccably brilliant charm and unique comedic stylings. |
| User ReviewJohn AA simple situation mostly using a park bench, but it a wonderful piece of early cinema. Chaplin has great timing, essential in an era without sound. |
| User ReviewMark SThe first film written and directed by Charlie Chaplin. He got a lot better. |
