Weak first half.


This movie got really good in the second half, and the ending was phenomenal, but I was not impressed during the first half. The humor was definitely a step down from The Gold Rush (haven't seen The Circus), which had me laughing during the entire cabin sequence in the beginning. Anyone else feel the same?

Tell me about it, I've been trying to get friends and family to see this movie for years and when I do get them to see it, they get bored around halfway in and want to watch something else and they never get to see the ending. It drives me crazy as I do consider it a great movie.

No. I thought it was good from beginning to end.

It's a build-up type of film that gets progressively better in both humor and pulled heart strings; you have to let the folks with whom you share this know it going in.
