Teddie Blake The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Antonius Block The premise for this Harold Lloyd vehicle is the oft-used trope of the nice guy who is terribly shy around women, in this case, so much so that he begins stuttering and even trembling. What makes it amusing initially is that he's also an aspiring writer who, of all things, has written a how-to book for other young men called "The Secret of Making Love". The two fantasy sequences he dreams up while writing, for chapters dealing with a woman who is a vampire (vamp) and a flapper, are fantastic, and I wish there could have been more of them. Lloyd is of course cool, confident, and macho in his daydreams, at one point giving the flapper (Judy King) a spanking. In real life he can't even muster the courage to sit down next to a rich young girl who has tried to sneak her dog on a train (Jobyna Ralston). The love story that develops between Lloyd and Ralston is predictable, but sweet. The two of them carry around mementos of their meeting (a box of dog treats for him, and a box of Cracker Jacks for her), pining away for each other. Lloyd endures humiliation in many ways, the most memorable being when an entire office crowd around to laugh over his book, and then mock him mercilessly. These empathy building devices for the 'nice guy' are cliché today, but I found them endearing and interesting, especially since the film is from 1924. There are a few nice gags along the way, but what really makes the film is the madcap journey he takes aboard all manner of vehicles - a car, train, pair of horses, streetcar, motorcycle, etc. towards the end. It's an extended sequence that is brilliant and memorable.

loganalaxanian This film really surprised me since I'm not big fan of silent movies. Harold Lloyd did an awesome job with this character and played the role perfectly. His facial expressions and body language made it easier to understand how he was feeling since there was no talking. The only thing i didn't like about the movie was that it was a little slow in the beginning.

byufan-05531 The storyline is a bit familiar to modern-day audiences. After having fallen in love with a girl despite his extreme shyness towards them, Harold finds that he cannot make her happy and decides to break things off. Once he finds out that she is getting married to a total jerk who is already married, he goes to break it up at the altar before it is too late. While a very common story still seen throughout romantic comedies today, Harold Lloyd's sophisticated storytelling style and frequent use of gags makes the film anything but familiar.While the chase scene is most remembered from this film, Lloyd is able to weave this masterful chase scene into a well structured narrative. His portrayal of a shy young man is realistic, comedic, and evokes sympathy from the audience. His romance with the rich girl is not overdramatic but natural and even cute. We really believe that these two people are in love even after a short two hour train ride. This movie's strength is in its ability to avoid cliche tropes and overly dramatize the romance instead leaving the out of this worldness to the gags and end chase scene instead of the characters. Girl Shy is Harold Lloyd building on his previous work to combine a well constructed story with his unique style of stunts that make us as the audience buy the reality of these impossible stunts while still respecting the title character as an everyday man just like us.

k-howell-77914 Harold Meadows was an exceptionally well written and well portrayed character, awkward yet determined and fully relatable, with a positive aspect of his personality to mirror each flaw. "Girl Shy" was romantic and hilarious without being a cliché "rom-com," and the plot left plenty of room for surprise and unexpectancy. I did feel there were a few very minor side characters that were not as explained as they should have been that left me confused as to who they were and why they were there. Aside from a minor plot hole that left me questioning as the end of the movie, I enjoyed everything else about the film. The acting was phenomenal, the scene settings were detailed and each one was unique, as if you were following the true ride all the way down to the city, and the chase scene was hilarious and original. "Girl Shy" a unique and adorable movie, and I would absolutely watch this title again given the chance.
