Steamboat Bill, Jr. is a charming comedy, action, adventure film of sorts that brings you back to the 1800's. Staring Buster Keaton and Ernest Terrence as the dynamic father and son duo that the film centers around. Their relationship proves funny and relatable as they are at odds for most of the films duration. Overall this movie is quite enjoyable with some dull spots sprinkled throughout, but there is never a sequence that drags too long before you're laughing again. With that said any dull spots Steamboat posses is more than made up for with an impressive final sequence performed by Keaton. Stunts, that Keaton appears almost lucky to have pulled off at times, happen one after another in the films masterful closing. I would recommend Steamboat Bill, Jr. to anyone in need of a relaxing hour that wont require any stressing or understanding in order to have a good time.
