A perfect silent comedy from Harold Lloyd. Harold plays a coward who can't get the girl and is pushed around by his rival for her affections. His Grandmother gives him a lucky idol to give him courage.
Harold Lloyd was one of the true masters of comedy and Grandma's Boy is about as good as it gets for a silent comedy. Lloyd and his team carefully create their characters and make sure to integrate them into the comedic situations.
There isn't an ounce of padding in this film. It moves along briskly and ends an hour later, something comedies today have not even begun to figure out.
This is an extremely well made and impressive film.
60 minutes.
