Featured review
One of Lloyd's last 'jerk' films.
The Harold Lloyd films of the 1920s were works of art. While laughs were important, Lloyd's style changed a lot from his roughhouse 1910s pictures. Instead of relying on slapstick, they were much more plot-driven and very sweet...and you really liked the characters he played. "Next Aisle Over" is an example of Lloyd in his middle phase of his comedy. In other words, while the character LOOKED like the sweet bespectacled man of the 20s, he acted much like his earlier, jerky characters. Much of the time, you really have no understanding WHY he wacted the way he did....but you know you don't like the guy!
The film begins with a revolving door bit that is mildly funny...but you notice right away how mean Lloyd is in this one as he torments a little guy for no apparent reason. Then, he enters the department store and begins flirting with his girlfriend. When the boss arrives, Harold inexplicably slaps him around and causes a minor riot! Then, you realize he works there and the job shows him throwing things at customers, slapping them and being slapped by them. All in all, practically no plot, few laughs and a nasty, unlikable leading man. I see little to recommend in this one.
