4/10
Not that much of a pleasure to watch

This is a Charlie Chaplin movie from 1919, one of his most prolific years and Chaplin wasn't even 30 at that point. He wrote, directed and starred in this black-and-white silent movie. The film runs for 20 minutes roughly, so it's neither among Chaplin's longest or shortest works. Edna Purviance plays the female main character as she does in many Chaplin films. I have to say the action in here was not really that interesting. It's basically Chaplin against means of transportation this time (and against other people such as a cop of course), because Chaplin struggles at the beginning and ending of the movie with his car, while in-between he is on a boat and also causes lots of mayhem. However, it's not really funny or dramatically relevant. Not among Chaplin's best.
