TrueHello Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Rosie Searle It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

adonis98-743-186503 The Tramp cares for an abandoned child, but events put that relationship in jeopardy. The Kid holds quite well for such an old film but it's definitely not one of Chaplin's best films since it has it's fair share of storytelling problems which don't really affect the movie completely except a small part of it. The acting was good and the story was sentimental for sure but it could have also been much much better as a whole but it still still a nice touch seeing a different side of Charlie Chaplin and raising a kid but also the problems that that responsibility has. (7/10)

Kaustav Majumdar Almost a hundred years before All India Bakchod, India's YouTube based sketch group came to popularity and went onto make their Hotstar sponsored web exclusive called On Air with AIB with the tagline of "Comedy mein Tragedy hain, Comedy mein Tragedy hain..." (There is comedy in tragedy), the one of the two greatest of comedian minds I have ever witnessed, Charles Chaplin decided to observe that obvious truth and plot his entire basis of work. The fact that he is perhaps the greatest mind of his genre, time and even is considered to have made up a personal form of film-making just shows how defining his choices was. The Kid has only one flaw in the whole story which is the ending dream sequence which melds into the reality of the 'lone prospector' (that seems like perpetually Chaplin's character presentation except in The Great Dictator from what I have seen so far; I would correct myself if I see otherwise). It was jarring and snapped me out of the investment I had in the ending of the story because of what the penultimate scene shows with respect to the kid not being an orphan anymore and how it is resolved. Otherwise, it is pretty much another masterclass. The kid who plays The Kid is at times somehow a better act to observe than even Chaplin himself, who is more fatherly despite how clownish ways which makes it all an odd enjoyment.The highlight of the movie is definitely a quarter of the film in when the kid and his 'father' are all tucked into the daily way of life, going about their jobs breaking and repairing things, eating their home-cooked meals and winning fights against stronger strangers in surprising and ridiculous ways. To sum this story, it is about choice, love, loss and parenthood's absolute joy should you choose to accept it, making Life a little more bearable than it was before that choice changed your perspective on it.

sol- Taking care of an abandoned baby changes the life of a tramp in this iconic silent comedy. The film has a place in cinema history as Charles Chaplin's first feature length film, but it is even more noteworthy as a rare comedy in which Chaplin does not dominate every scene with Jackie Coogan turning in a fine performance as the boy at age five. In addition to having great chemistry with Chaplin, Coogan has several authentic emotional moments that ring true as he cries and wails when well-meaning authorities try to separate him from his adoptive father. The film has quite a solid dramatic backbone too with Chaplin's tramp gradually coming to truly love the baby who he initially tried to pass on to someone else. That said, 'The Kid' is also an inventive and funny film with some great routines in which the two protagonists scurry about and confuse those chasing after them. In fact, were it not for a rushed, unrealistic ending and an overlong, out-of-place dream sequence, a good case could be made for this being Chaplin's finest film. Flawed as it may be though, it is easy to see why the film has won the hearts of many over the years and has become a sentimental favourite for lots of viewers.

Takethispunch The Kid is a 1921 American silent comedy-drama film written by, produced by, directed by, and starring Charlie Chaplin, and features Jackie Coogan[5] as his adopted son and sidekick. This was Chaplin's first full- length film as a director (he had been a co-star in 1914's Tillie's Punctured Romance). It was a huge success, and was the second-highest grossing film in 1921, behind The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. In 2011, The Kid was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant." Innovative in its combination of comedic and dramatic elements,[6] The Kid is widely considered one of the greatest films of the silent era.
