5.0 out of 5 stars A laugh riot!, July 29, 2010

This review is from: Dr. Jack [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Poor Miss Haskell (played by Mildred Davis, future wife of Harold Lloyd) has been treated like an invalid all her life. Dr. Ludwig von Saulsbourg sees her as a bottomless mine of money, and he will go on convincing her father that she needs his "treatments." But, Lawyer Jamison smells a rat, and brings in a "specialist" to get to the bottom of things - Dr. "Jack" Jackson (Harold Lloyd). Dr. Jack treats his patients with common sense and understanding, and he quickly figures out that Dr. Saulsbourg is not helping his patient at all. Now, what can he do to set things right?

This is another great Harold Lloyd silent film, filled with lots of that Lloyd zaniness and hyperactivity. Indeed, this film is filled with lots of great gags, perhaps the best since An Eastern Westerner. This is an awful lot of fun, and a great silent movie. So, if you are a fan of that great Harold Lloyd humor, then fire up this movie and be prepared for a laugh riot!

4.0 out of 5 stars The Playful Brain, July 31, 2006

This review is from: Dr. Jack [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Dr. Jack (Harold Lloyd) is a friend to all the people in a small town. His methods aren't entirely traditional, but the people he is surrounded by aren't really average people. He deals with children trying to play hooky from school (Mickey Daniels), gamblers who tend to waste their paychecks on one game, and lonely old women. In the city, there is a girl (Mildred Davis, Lloyd's future wife) called the Sick Little Well Girl (obviously a playful jab at the Poor Little Rich Girl). Although it seems there is nothing wrong with her, her fancy doctor prescribes all sorts of remedies that make her miserable. That is, until Dr. Jack steps in.

This film is short and sweet, just the way a comedy should be. There are plenty of funny scenes; some of them are subtle like the card playing bit and some are slapstick comedy like the chase scene at the end.
