Customer Reviews of Hot Water
B/W and no sound This short movie manages to pull of what most these days can't without compy special fx,color or sound. Ahhhh, the good ol days before the "blockbuster".
One "Hot" Harold Lloyd Comedy!
"Hot Water" as pointed out finds Harold Lloyd in a different kind of light. Forget what you've seen in movies like "Girl Shy", "Speedy", and "Feet First" where Lloyd has to struggle to win the girl and prove himself. Lloyd is already married. Yes, he struggles, but, not to win the girl. He struggles by putting up with her family. With mishaps after mishaps.
"Hot Water" is one of the funniest Harold Lloyd comedies I've seen. The set-up is fantastic. Everything that could go wrong, does! It's just one funny situation after another.
I wrote a review on Lloyd's film "The Kid Brother". In the review I stated that that was Lloyd's best film because it was his most fully realized film. There he actually seems to be acting. The movie is more concerned with plot. Well, if your not interested in seeing a Harold Lloyd comedy focused on plot, than this is one of the few films you have to check out. If you've never seen a Harold Lloyd comedy I suggest you see this movie along with "Safety Last", "Speedy" and "Girl Shy". If you only seen these 4 movies you'll understand what made Harold Lloyd one of the all-time great comedians.
I wish that Lloyd's comedies would have easier to obtain. People need to see these movies. If you've seen movies with Chaplin and Keaton and you enjoyed them Harold Lloyd will absolutely delight you. Go out, hunt down the movie and buy it! Do whatever you have to do to get this movie, one of the funniest Harold Lloyd comedies I've seen.
Bottom-line: As far as jokes go, this one ranks among Lloyd's best! Sheer comic perfection. Excellent set-up and delivery from Lloyd.
One of Harold Lloyd's Finest
Most of his films find Harold Lloyd struggling for success against impossible odds in order to make good and win the girl. HOT WATER is atypical, for here we find that Lloyd has already made good and won the girl--but now he has to put up with his in-laws, and his wife's family is enough to daunt the bravest man: a nasty baby brother, a free-loading older brother, and a battle-ax mother who has "a natural gift for destruction."
This short film--which finds Lloyd dismayed when he wins a live turkey at a raffle, the victim of some truly savage back-seat-driving, and then convinced that he has accidentally killed his hateful mother-in-law--abounds with one sight gag after another, and easily equals any of the longer and better known films Lloyd made later in his career. With his signature straw hat, round glasses, and innocent enthusiasm, Lloyd personfies the go-getter spirit of the 1920s, and he is generally regarded as one of the three great male silent comics; sadly, however, his films have been somewhat neglected over the years and seldom receive the attention showered on the films of Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. If you've never been exposed to Lloyd beyond his famous SAFETY LAST, you'll find HOT WATER an excellent place to begin--a film sure to make you want to see more and more.
