Even Up (1927) is a quirky comedy that captures the chaotic atmosphere of college life with a light-hearted yet tumultuous touch. The hazing rituals are portrayed almost slapstick, balancing the football rivalries with a romantic subplot that adds to the overall charm. It has this charming roughness typical of early silent films, where the performances convey so much through exaggerated expressions and physical comedy. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but that’s part of its character. The rival team’s dirty tricks add an engaging layer of conflict, making it a delightful watch for anyone intrigued by collegiate antics of the era.
Even Up remains a rather elusive title among silent film enthusiasts, with few surviving prints, making it a curious find for collectors. Its release history is sparse, and while it's not widely known, it often surfaces in discussions about early collegiate comedies. Collectors should note that its rarity and charm appeal to those who appreciate the nuances of 1920s cinema, though don’t expect an abundance of re-releases or merchandise tied to the film.
