Sep 21, 2015 good comedy short silent from Buster See more Oct 27, 2014 Not a top notch Keaton short as it drags a little at times, but it has lots of good stunt work and a pointed black-face gag about race and the police (unfortunately contrasted with a possibly racist ghost gag, though Keaton might have done the same gag with a white or Asian family and just happened to do it with a black family - hard to know). See more Feb 12, 2014 Facial expressions and timing. Two families that aren't fond of each other happen to be neighbors. When the son of one family (Buster Keaton) falls in love with the daughter of the other (Virginia Fox), it isn't long before both families are up in arms and misunderstandings become escalated. Honestly speaking, Keaton has yet to let me down, and even his twenty minute shorts never fail to get uproarious laughter out of me. This is laugh out loud physical, slapstick humor, and while I typically react negatively when I see this in my modern movies, it just ends up being wildly charming in silent films. Buster Keaton is fearless in sacrificing his body, and he performs stunts that will make your jaw drop; when you get to the ending where they are doing a human totem pole, you know that couldn't have easy, or 100% safe, for that matter. There are a couple of racial things that aren't really cool, but that's just a sign of the times, as this was released in 1920. This is just another winner from Keaton. See more Jan 23, 2014 Crazy entertaining and hilarious for just a few minutes. See more Jan 15, 2013 another hilarious movie by Buster Keaton, which successfully bring such comedy that even still funny to be seen at this decades. BRAVO See more Oct 16, 2012 Buster Keaton was an amazing comedian and director and Neighbors is just another example of how great his physical comedy was. The gags come fast and furious and the charming Keaton does it in a way that is offensive yet endearing enough to walk on thin ice without breaking through. See more Read all reviews
