Routine & Unimaginative, At Least By Lloyd's Standards
It could just be because Harold Lloyd set a high standard in his comedies, but this one seems mostly routine and unimaginative, at least by comparison with most of his movies. There are a handful of good moments, but most of the gags are really not that funny, while others may have been funnier if they had been carried off with better planning and/or timing.
The story has Lloyd working as a stage hand, Bebe Daniels as a dancer, and Snub Pollard as part of a group of traveling players. None of them really gets a lot of good material to work with, although they all do their best. There isn't really a coherent story line, so without any really good gag ideas or particularly interesting or sympathetic characters, it ends up containing a fair amount of relatively pointless activity.
Lloyd, Daniels, and director Hal Roach provided the movie with a considerable talent base to work with, and no one would want to be too harsh in criticizing anything involving them. This time, though, they really just do not have much to work with, and the results are only fair at the very best.
