IMDB

Harold Van Pelham is a hypochondriac who is visiting the tropics for his health. When he and his nurse arrive, it doesn't take very long for Harold to get arrested by the military. His nurse puts on a disguise so the military won't arrest her. Harold meets a giant named Colosso in jail and they decide to break out, which is fairly easy. Harold finds the nurse, who he finds himself in love with now, and fights a ton of the military off during a revolution.
Why Worry? is another great action filled comedy from Harold Lloyd. This film gives Harold a sidekick in Colosso. I've got to say that I like the pairing. Colosso isn't there just to add muscle, because Harold kicks way more ass than he does in this film. It's nice to see Harold have a relationship with somebody besides a woman who he has suddenly fallen in love with.
This is a movie that is well worth watching. Most of these short features are hard to get bored of, but this one is particularly good. There's a lot of action, too, so this is exceptionally fast paced.

10/10

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.
