Any big fans of my comments know that:
a. I always vaguely state my location as "USA." b. I frequently make references to the AFI's 100 Funniest Movies list.
And in fact, I've seen every movie on the AFI's list. "The Freshman" was the hardest one to find. When I finally saw it, I became an instant fan of Harold Lloyd. He shines in this role as a nerdy college freshman trying to become the most popular person at the school. His facial expressions are priceless, his wacky misadventures kept me in stitches, and you can't help but feel proud of the guy when he... well, I won't give away the ending.
Anyway, if you ever find this one, it's a great movie. Too bad I'll probably never find another Harold Lloyd film.
