This little film is a great display of the true comedic genius of Charlie Chaplin and his "Little Tramp" character. The film isn't powerfully dramatic but still stands the test of the time in terms of comedy. Chaplin's elaborate and well-prepared sight gags really show how his style differed from the frantic & wild pace of Max Sennatt's silent films. Plus his "Tramp" character is a very sympathetic and human character as you do feel his emotions as he tries to win Georgia's heart. Overall Chaplin did a fantastic job on this classic and it deserves recognition as one of the best comedies of all-time. Without a doubt, a solid 10/10!

This was the second of three MST3k shows where they did major mainstream movies instead of the normal obscure and forgettable "films". However there is probably a very good reason they didn't do more of these: they're not very funny. Mike & The Bots spend most of the segments trying to explain the film or the situation in the scene instead of doing their normal riffing. Plus there are unnecessary cameos by the villains of the series who just added nothing and come off as a little more than annoying particularly Bobo coming into the "Men In Black" segment. Has it moments but there are MANY more episodes of MST3k that are funnier. 4/10.

I remember this show used to come on VERY early here on the west coast and it was pleasant, to say the least, to wake up to each weekday morning. This was a pretty unique show of ESPN2's block of exercise programs as it featured 4 super-hot girls in fitness celebs Deborah Khazei & Denise Paglia, ESPN fitness "poster girl" Kathy Derry(she was later on "Bodyshaping") and former Frederick's of Hollywood lingerie model Leeann Tweeden(later on F/X's "Toughman World Championship" and Fox's "54321"). Along with being very helpful in improving physical fitness, it offered the benefit of watching 4 stunning babes in bikinis and the camera giving many close-ups of chests and thighs. True it was probably an obvious ploy to attract more viewers but if it got them to exercise more then it can be called pretty beneficial. It's probably still on the air somewhere so if you can check it out, don't miss the opportunity AND especially don't miss the sexy opening and closing sequences of the girls in slow-motion in their bikinis! I give it 8/10.
