Title: Embarassingly painful to watch
Product review: Chaplin was at his worst here. He styled himself a philosopher in this movie and spends way too much time spouting his half-baked thoughts about everything you can imagine. Chaplin may have thought of himself as a wise old sage but his self-written dialogue makes him sound more like an ignorant old fogey who doesn't know when to shut up. He passes off the tritest of observations as ageless wisdom and the audience wonders if it is a joke. Horrible movie but Keaton is a joy to watch.
