Review of Just Neighbors

7/10
Just Neighbors was another enjoyable Harold Lloyd short
3 August 2009
This was another early Harold Lloyd comedy short featuring his "glasses" character that I watched on the Kino DVD "The Harold Lloyd Collection". His character that I previously watched as a con man in Are Crooks Dishonest? is nice enough here that he picks up a lady's belongings after bumping into her, then gives money to both a Red Cross woman and a female Salvation Army worker. He then tries to reach the teller on time but gets distracted enough to have other men fall in line ahead of him. Luckily, neighbor Snub Pollard is also in the line as they go home together to meet their wives. Then the real troubles begin...Besides Pollard, Harold's other frequent co-star Bebe Daniels appears as his wife. Quite funny what happens during many of the backyard mishaps though a thrill sequence at the end seems tacked-on. Still, a highly enjoyable short. So on that note, I recommend Just Neighbors.
