The plot is less focused than with Chaplin's other movies, but there's a lot of heart in it.
It also doesn't have (for me at least) any laugh-out-loud moments like the boxing scene from City Lights, which is probably the funniest thing Chaplin ever did, but instead it has a lot of moments that have me smiling through the movie, and that's just as great.
I love the relationship between the Tramp and the Girl. It's not romantic, it's just a really beautiful friendship and it's great.
