Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.
Spoonatects Am i the only one who thinks........Average?
Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
boblipton It's a quiet day at the railroad station. Jerry is playing craps with the dog, and a mosquito is bothering Mr. Givney, so he tells Jerry to get rid of the insect. Jerry attaches a hammer to to dog's tail to take out the bug, with the usual results.Although JERRY ON THE JOB was a very successful comic strip that ran from 1915-1932, the movie version -- usually animated by an uncredited Walter Lantz -- was not as good. It lacked the absurd cast of characters that hung around the railroad station and the daft signs that filled the comic. Although it occasionally stretched itself, particular when Mr. Hoban was away during the First World War, the emphasis here seems to have been on getting it out on schedule -- Lantz later claimed than he animated a three or four minute cartoon every two weeks.
