Newlyweds Hubby (Harold Lloyd) and Wifey (Jobyna Ralston) experience the joys and tribulations of married life in a series of madcap episodes. First, the quotidian routine of Hubby's day is broken up by an adventure on a busy trolley involving a wild turkey. Later, Wifey's gorgon-like mother (Josephine Crowell) and doltish brother (Charles Stevenson) arrive, causing more problems for poor Hubby when the entire family loads into his car for a not-so-leisurely drive into town.

Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews There are a few brilliant slapstick sequences in this episodic film. Rated: B Apr 28, 2014 Full Review Michael W. Phillips, Jr. Goatdog's Movies Has so much momentum and inarguable internal logic that it drags you along, laughing helplessly. Rated: 3.5/5 Jun 2, 2008 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member I love Lloyds films and although I see this as one of his lesser features it still packs oodles of gags and entertainment value. The first half being particularly good. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member The turkey scene on the trolley is one for the ages, as is the misunderstanding 'death' scene towards the end that is perfectly choreographed. One of Harold Lloyd's 'marriage' pictures which he made with his eventual real-life wife, "Hot Water" is a fun and insane ride at a brisk under-1-hour runtime. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/18/23 Full Review Audience Member still very very funny 2day-and wow those long shots. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member Another great Harold Lloyd vehicle with gags that made me laugh so hard. Gags include a ride on a trolley, a road trip in his new auto with his in laws, and a hilarious sequence in which he accidentally chloroforms his mother in law and is convinced that she's dead. Brilliantly made; it's one of Lloyd's best features. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Read all reviews
