Review of Sherlock Jr. (1924) by Matt M — 26 Dec 2013

Keaton reaches slapstick perfection with his tale of a film projectionist turned amateur sleuth. Spectacular stunts and laugh out loud gags, including memorable ones like the famous dream sequence where Keaton enters the cinema screen, make this one of Keaton's best works, and one that not only represents the best of what slapstick comedy had to offer in those days, but also a film that had an enormous impact on the comedy spoofs genre still very visible in today's films.
