Kids Is Kids (1920) is a charming comedy that really encapsulates the chaos and humor of a young couple taking on the challenge of caring for a group of orphans. The film has a breezy pace, and you can feel the blend of innocence and mischief from the kids, which adds a delightful layer to the narrative. The performances, though perhaps not polished by today’s standards, have a genuine warmth that makes you invested in their antics. The practical effects used to showcase the children's antics are simple yet effective, drawing you into their world. There’s this nice balance of heartwarming moments and the sheer unpredictability of a group of kids running wild, which gives it a distinctive flavor among silent comedies.
Kids Is Kids is a bit of a rarity, making its appearance on the collector's market somewhat sporadic. Original prints seem to be elusive, often sought after due to their unique comedic style and the charming portrayal of youthful chaos. Given its silent film era roots, it holds particular interest for those who appreciate early cinema and the evolution of comedy on screen. While not widely circulated, it can attract collectors who are keen on expanding their silent film collections.
