IMDB

A doctor strolls around solving people's problems. He gets called in to see if he can help a sick girl who has been incurable, but profitable, to the institution she is being kept in. His old fashioned methods (treating the girl to some excitement) end up working, much to the dismay of the girl's doctor.
A pretty solid, if not somewhat underwhelming, effort from Harold Lloyd. The plot is decent, but perhaps too wholesome to translate into a hilarious comedy. There are moments of humor, but overall I found it to not be very funny. Still worth watching, but not necessary.

6.5/10

Rating Scale Explanation

The rating scale is simple. 1 is the worst 10 is the best and 5 is mediocre. 5.5 or greater is a movie that I at least find enjoyable. You could also think of 5 as a zero and 1 as a negative 5. I feel like that sounds even more convoluted.
