Review of The Kid Brother (1927) by Irvin C — 07 Jun 2014
My catching up with the Third Genius, Harold Lloyd continues with this absolutely wonderful film. The youngest (and nerdiest) in a family filled with traditional macho men tries to prove his "manliness" and worth at the same time trying to win over a girl.
Though "Safety Last!" may still be my favorite Harold Lloyd movie (so far), this one comes very close. The third act of this film is absolutely hysterical and at the same time genuinely suspenseful.
Harold Lloyd should not have to stand in the shadows of Chaplin and Keaton. He is absolutely their equal.
