"Get Out and Get Under" is a 25-minute short film from 1920, so 4 more years and this one will have its 100th anniversary. The names Roach and Walker should be known to silent film fans in general and if you read the name of lead actor Harold Lloyd you will know for sure what to expect. This is the story of a young man who needs to get to theater in time or else he will lose his role to another actor. Lots of chaos ensues of course in Lloyd's character's attempts to be on time. I mentioned four factors in the title of this review and all these are very common frequently in silent (short) films, so you can basically call this movie the epitome of a silent short movie from around that era. But you can also call it generic, stereotypical and uncreative and it's hard to argue against it. I think this one here was not really such a good watch. I have seen Lloyd do better on several occasions. The script probably isn't helping him much this time.
