The Freshman is a 1925 American silent comedy starring Harold Lloyd as an eager, socially awkward incoming college student who models his behavior on a fictional campus hero from a movie he admires, and is repeatedly humiliated by classmates before an unexpected chance to play in the climactic football game. The film builds its comedy around Lloyd's persistent, good-natured optimism in the face of mounting social embarrassment, a variation on his established go-getter screen persona rather than the physical thrill sequences of his other best-known films. The Freshman was one of the biggest box-office successes of Lloyd's career and remains one of the most representative films of his particular comic style.
