Alexander B It's a little lop sided with the first half being pretty boring but the second half is really funny and entertaining. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/22 Full Review Audience Member One of Buster Keaton’s best!! Hilarious. Original storyline. Keaton’s stunts as usual are amazing to behold. Laugh S0 hard. Classic Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/16/21 Full Review william d Keaton being chased by hundreds of would be brides is an absolute crack up. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review William L A bit slow to get going, but the final chase scene is pure perfection, gradually increasing in size and silliness before (of course) coming to a happy resolution; the horde of potential brides running through an active football field leveling all the players is a great bit - short, no setup needed, but still funny. Keaton's deadpan expression might be my favorite recurring bit throughout the entire silent era, it matches so well with his physical comedy. That said, it's probably not the best film to present Keaton's legacy today, with its blackface/minstrel character and a joke in which he suggests matrimonial intent to a girl before realizing she is reading a newspaper in Hebrew. (3.5/5) Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/26/21 Full Review Rich S The plot, picked up from a subpar Broadway play, is a little thin and the first half of the movie shows that. But once the announcement is made that Buster Keaton needs a bride, it's a county-wide rumble to the altar -- and it's well worth the short wait to get there. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/08/20 Full Review Audience Member Seven Chances (1925) The first time I laughed was when a man was trying to propose for another woman to marry his friend and the older man pops out and the lady thinks it is him she is asking to get married to. The first half is not that funny or physical but once they put an add in the newspaper is when the film changes passé and it get comical The wedding scene was funny and parades of women and rock slide. I liked the crane scene and they dropped Buster Keaton and a train passes by and the ladies think that they killed his character. I think it is interesting seeing how many people had painted faces then to have one African lady not with a painted face in the church surprised me.
