Grandma's Boy (1922)



Associated Exhibitors
Directed by Fred C. Newmeyer
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(DVD, New Line Home Entertainment)

Meek Harold Lloyd confronts the town bully, and a criminal tramp on the loose, with the help of a "magic idol" given to him by his grandmother. This leads to the usual car chases and fist fights. The best scene, though, has Harold and bully accidentally eating moth balls, and then trying to hide it. Enjoyable if thoroughly predictable slapstick.
