I really enjoyed seeing the first ever slapstick movie / gag. I can imagine that for audiences seeing this for the first time, it must have been a great experience.
I thought that it was funny and the suspense built up until the gardner got a faceful of water. Then it turned a little dark when the boy (who looked like a man) was roughly dragged to the hose.
