LarsenOnFilm - 9/10 by Josh Larsen...a silly satire of interventionist, imperialist meddling.
User Review - 10/10 by Gareth DOne of my favourite Harold Lloyd's. "WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME I LOVE YOU!!??" His usual gag-a-minute plus plus, as you'd expect from any of the true cinema comedian actors. Easily puts to shame the modern 'greats' like Ferrell, Stiller, Murray, Carrey and so on. Today's audiences don't know what they're missing with hard-to-come-by gags for exorbitant ticket prices. Sad times. Go back to the Silent Greats and you'll see how shortchanged you are today.
User Review - 8/10 by Russell SLloyd's naive, optimistic, can-do character blended with that of a chronic hypochondriac shouldn't work on paper and - yet it does. The fun and laughs never stop. One of Harold Lloyd's s more "cartoonish" movies it is nonetheless a very entertaining, inventive, madcap ride.
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WNot the best Harold Lloyd film, but it's so genuinely goofy and strange to be worthwhile. Lloyd ends up fighting in a revolution after befriending a giant with a toothache. None of it makes much sense, but it is very funny.
User Review - 6/10 by Timothy MSome clever gags fill in an otherwise average Harold Lloyd movie. Still amusing and full of some cool stunts, but nothing on the level of Safety Last.
User Review - 4/10 by Giffy GMy least favorite Harold Lloyd film. The plot was far too bizarre for me to buy, and I don't know why the setting that was chosen was chosen. Also, unlike many Harold Lloyd jokes, many of the bits did not age well at all, resulting in a rather tedious movie. I'm sure it was funny for its time, but I'm watching it over 80 years after it was filmed.
User Review - 2/10 by Zoi KNo laugh could come out of this outdated comedy (?) about an American hypochondriac richman that travels to a Latin American island to get some rest. His peace is disturbed by a military coup that would change him as a man. I don't know if this was funny back in 1923 when discourses on post-colonialism and race weren't really developed, but it just looks offensively stereotypical (all latin Americans just look like lazy-ass Mexican savages), insensitive (how could anyone laugh with men sexually attacking women or padroni whiping old people who are shaking from terror), or just plain silly (the deeply good-hearted chic American that without knowing saves the day and the country along with the good-natured native guerilla (or gorilla) ). Interesting as a piece of cinematic history but nonetheless a waste of time.
