Tedious little movie, of interest only for the location views of NYC. There's not a lot here, just some gags strung together, showing Harold Lloyd playing an unemployable baseball fanatic, losing a succession of jobs largely through his own stupidity, and then suddenly deciding to rise to the occasion to rescue his father's failing business. Forgettable, like much of Lloyd's work.

More sweet than truly funny. Watching it, I'm struck by the gentleness and lack of darkness of Lloyd's world in comparison to those inhabited by Keaton and Chaplin. Despite its race against the clock climax, nothing much really feels at stake. Stil,l some of the indivdual sequences - a trip to Coney Island, in particular- rank amongst the greatest in all of silent comedy.

Not Lloyd's best, but fun enough and definitely worth seeing for Babe Ruth's appearance.
