The Navigator (1924)

Despite this film being branded as one of the classics I didn't find it very entertaining. The acting was nothing to write home about and the scenes were far too dragged out for my enjoyment(i.e. The scene on the boat where they haven't seen each other yet and are frantically running around in circles).

I found the sense of humor that was most prevalent in this film to be juvenile at best. I'm sure that if I was between the ages of 8 and 10 I would have found it quite entertaining but at my current age I found the jokes to be very typical and very rehashed.

The plot wasn't very thought out and I didn't feel that it had any real depth. It was simply a scenario put in place to set up the scene for a series of bad slapstick jokes.

Perhaps I judged too harshly but I didn't find this film to be of any real artistic value.
