The review
A pawnshop assistant takes a clock apart as if it were a patient. Charlie Chaplin, Mutual, 1916, a two-reeler. A house can watch it. The other Mutual reels of that year are the same man, and this is the one they can stand for. I am not sitting through the set on a weeknight. One reel was the bargain.
The object is destroyed with care. I laughed at the patient bit and then I was looking at parts. He has the job, and the work you see is the wrecking. It is a reel, not a feature. If it goes on, say the merchandise is the joke and it does not survive the bit. I was ready for bed before the pieces were.

The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.

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.
