If one attempts to tell why Chaplin "gets over" his comedy with such success, he is tackling more than a man's size job -- it is ever so much easier to simply say that Chaplin was as funny as usual and let it go at that. Go to Full Review

05/11/2018 Great movie a must see! See more 04/29/2014 The Tramp is early Charles Chaplin and also was a starting point for a lot of the techniques and ideas Chaplin would use from here on out. This is a fun 20 minute short from one of films first comedians and it's what you'd expect from him. Chaplin plays The Tramp, who fights off some burglars and helps a girl get her money back. He's then taken to her home where her father rewards him with a job. The burglars arrive again and The Tramp must fight them off again. If you are just getting into Chaplin, The Tramp is a great place to start. I also recommend this to anyone loves Charles Chaplin. This may not be considered one of his best, but it's still Chaplin.

Endless sight gags involving a poking pitchfork, various blows to the head and bags of flour falling on people. Not so wonderful, though the ending adds some pathos. See more 05/13/2012 Charlie Chaplin forever immortalized this role See more 02/20/2012 In "The Tramp" we get a glimpse (and a rather perfect glimpse at that) at the brilliance, perfection, and mastery that Chaplin would exude in his future masterpieces. It's a thoroughly joyous experience with some great funny moments, and the Chaplin-esque heart-wrenching ending. It's not one of his funniest films, but it's funny moments are just great, and it's almost impossible not to enjoy yourself. See more 07/09/2011 A somewhat funny early Chaplin film. The use of intertitles would've made it much better though. See more Read all reviews
