"City Lights" is a picture starring Charlie Chaplin. It is a silent film released after the advent of talkies (1931). The setting of the movie is The Great Depression in America or present time when it was released. The movie could be considered a "romantic comedy" as Chaplin's humor has similarities to Ben Stiller who often uses physical happenings to make the audience laugh. "City Lights" was not entirely a silent film even though it is …showed first 75 words of 585 total…

…showed last 75 words of 585 total…is less than humorous but the comedy isn't the reason to watch, even though it was probably the main draw when it was originally released.

On a scale of one to ten with one being "turn if off now," five being "average," and ten being "play it again," I would rate this film as a 6, and probably would not watch it again.
