“u0026quot;By The Seau0026quot; is one of Charlie Chaplinu0026#39;s many short films, consisting mostly of simple slapstick comedy. In it, Charlieu0026#39;s tramp character visits the sea-side and gets involved in a series of mishaps with other vacationers.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMost of the comic elements are fairly routine: banana peels, melting ice cream, unstable park benches, and so forth. Chaplin does this kind of humor as well as anyone, so there are a couple of good laughs, but in this movie there is not any of the depth that he would display in his more memorable films.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThis is a pretty routine short for Chaplin, but thatu0026#39;s still not too bad by most standards.”
