Plots(1)
A film about the making of a film set in 1910. Some big names star in this slapstick comedy that pays some homage to the silent and indeed dangerous visual comedy of Harold Lloyd. Although it cannot replicate the charm and vivacity of the earlier, original works that have inspired it, it is nevertheless an interesting period piece on the 'behind-the-scenes' of movie making in that era. In the end, the characters go to Hollywood to see the groundbreaking film BIRTH OF A NATION. (official distributor synopsis)
