The review
Hepworth, 1900, and the blast is the joke. A car blows up. Dummy pieces fall from the sky and a policeman piles them up. The limbs are props. It is a joke of a disaster, not a record of a death. A child can watch it only if told the parts are props. I would not put it on and hope the pile reads as harmless by itself.
The laugh needs a wreck that looks like people. That is a mean little use of a minute when the room is already worn down. The policeman's gathering is the gag, not a duty left standing. Say the props out loud if it plays. I won't dress a dummy disaster up as a warning about motors.

The glance

Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?

Buddy
31 instead of 19
Buddy is still a comedy film, and it scores 31 instead of 19. What you gain is household: The word friend is the bait.
