His Prehistoric Past was one of Chaplin's earliest movies and easily one of his least funny. It is without the social messages that his later films (even the short silent-films) contained, and is also without any truly funny scenes. Chaplin neither directed nor produced this movie, and it is doubtful that even he found it at any point funny.
Charlie Chaplin left to his own creative devices was a genius - plain and simple. HPH is not his project, however, and consequently is a very poor example of a Chaplin flick.
Do yourself a favor, rent a different Chaplin film (almost any will make your sides hurt from laughing and brain giddy from greater social awareness), but don't waste your time or money on His Prehistoric Past.
