Claysaba Excellent, Without a doubt!!
Ceticultsot Beautiful, moving film.
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Bob This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
JoeytheBrit Two of Harold Lloyd's favourite props are in use here. The first is the car, driven recklessly at speed, the second is the joke of remaining crouched down without realising your hiding place has been removed. You expect something terrible to happen to his car given the fuss he makes over it, but nothing that horrendous befalls it – unless you count being driven by Lloyd as something to be dreaded. He encounters all manner of mishaps as he races to the play being staged by the local amateur dramatics troupe, of which he is a starring member. On a number of occasions he has to jump out of the motor and run back to fetch something that has fallen out of the back. There's nothing unusual about this other than the fact that he doesn't bother stopping the car when he does so… This is one of those early shorts of Harold's that has a boundless energy to match His character's single-mindedness of purpose, and it contains plenty of laughs. One surreal moment occurs however when the car breaks down and Harold is struggling to revive it. Spotting a junkie injecting himself in a doorway, Harold deftly picks the junkie's pocket and uses the contents of his syringe to get the motor running again.
CitizenCaine The premise of this Harold Lloyd film is simple. Harold is late for a theater engagement where he's supposed to be playing a character in a local stage production. On his way to the theater, he's sidetracked by the many mishaps that befall him and his car. Sight gags abound before Harold can even get his car out of the garage. When he finally does, it's an unexpected delight. Of course there are other mishaps along the way, and Harold runs into little Ernest Morrison from the Our Gang comedies who pesters Harold with his dog as Harold attempts to fix his car on the side of a road. Perhaps a bizarre scene, although funny, is when Harold takes an injectable syringe from a street addict and uses it to rejuvenate his car. It works and of course Harold ends up chasing and catching up to his car not once but twice. In the end, Harold rushes on stage just in time to take credit for the performance that his stand-in gave in his absence. This is a typical Harold Lloyd film, funny with a lot of sight gags. **1/2 of 4 stars.
hcoursen This is hardly Lloyd's best film, but it is fun. Notice a couple of superb deep-field shots, amazing for 1920, but indicative of what b/w film could do. TCM's print is exceptionally good. Also, the Nighthawks provide a wonderful musical accompaniment, based on the popular song of the era, from which (I assume) the movie derives its title -- "Get Out and Get Under." These were the times when "Get a horse!" was still considered an amusing response to the breakdowns that tin lizzies tended to experience. Those flivers tended to shake when running, and the film uses that tendency for a couple of jokes on Lloyd's character and the automobiles of the early 1920s. The chase scenes may be typical, but they are very good. I always marvel at the incredible timing that characterizes them.
boblipton Tin Lizzie, that is, a model T. This is a beautifully constructed silent comedy of a Man and His Car. Lloyd Lloyd was the model for later Hal Roach comedians, and his plots and situations were recycled for later comedians. Here, it is done in its pure form.
