In the comedy tiny A JAZZED HONEYMOON, made 90 yrs ago, Lloyd takes up the role of the severely despised newly—wed, he is mistreated and booed at his own wedding, then on board the ship is thrown in the engines' room, strip of his clothes and put to work with the seamen, while his poor bride is about to go to bed by herself. True, the bride is not a very nice one, but the end justifies the means, I guess …. The fact that Lloyd is reduced to serving in the engines' room doesn't mean he won't stand up to his new comrades and face them; eventually, he escapes, and his bride, after a short denial, identifies him. Hey, there's no implication that honeymoon was further jazzed.A JAZZED HONEYMOON, in its tiny proportions, is representative for Lloyd's slapstick.

Harold Lloyd and Bebe Daniels just got married. However, they seemed to have picked a lousy cruise ship for their honeymoon, as the ship's crew think Harold is working for them and force him to be a stoker down in the boiler room. He's totally inept when it comes to shoveling coal but no matter what he tries to do to convince him they've made a mistake, the more the crew chief slaps him around and tells him to get back to work! Eventually, however, he's able to escape and after some dramatics, he's reunited with his sweetie.This is one of the early Harold Lloyd films where he has adopted the spectacles as a trademark. While not exactly the same lovable character he was in the 1920s, this persona clearly is being established here. Just a couple more years and Lloyd would become one of the biggest comedy stars in the world.By the way, usually I don't comment on another review, but I was flummoxed by one that said "Silent films just did not stand the test of time" and indicated this film was made watchable by having a recently added audio commentary. I beg to differ and assume this reviewer has seen very, very few silents--let alone Harold Lloyd films--which are often timeless classics. It would be as if I said "French films stink" or "all action films are dumb" or "Warner Brothers Studios never made a decent film"--all ridiculous generalizations.

This is what Harold Lloyd needed for an 80's generation audience. Silent films just did not stand the test of time in the 80's, but when 'Harold Lloyd's World of Comedy' was released with commentary on short films like this one, it gave it an added dimension that was missing since the coming of sound.
