In the 1910s, Harold Lloyd was popular, though no where near as popular as he would become in the 1920s. I think a lot of this was because in the 1910s, Lloyd still hadn't perfected the persona that served him so well in the 20s. Up until about 1917-18, Harold played a very abrasive and annoying character called 'Lonesome Luke' and the switched to the bespectacled guy the world came to love. However, although Lloyd's look was perfected, the character itself sure wasn't. Instead of being the sweet, likable wimpy hero of the 20s, this character was often a jerk and relied on slapstick instead of characterization. While "A Gasoline Wedding" is very good for the 1910s and it features Lloyd with his trademark glasses, it clearly isn't sweet!
The story begins with lots of suitors vying for a young lady (Bebe Daniels). Her father wants her to marry some rich jerk, but she's fallen for a not at all jerk (Lloyd) and the pair sneak off to get married. In her place, she leaves the butler (Snub Pollard) dressed as her in order to divert attention.
The film is enjoyable...especially the double wedding at the end. But it also relies too much on slapstick violence and isn't especially distinctive. Worth seeing but hardly up to Lloyd's later standards.
