"Sunnyside" was produced during a time when, by all accounts, Chaplin's state of creativity was low.Fact|date=February 2007 It was met with indifference by critics during its original theatrical run. The June 16, 1919 issue of the "
New York Times " contains this review:cquote|"Charlie Chaplin is at the Strand in his latest — "Sunnyside" — so, of course, those who go there will laugh. Chaplin is a farm hand and country hotel clerk this time. He is at his best when depending upon his inimitable pantomime, and least amusing when indulging inslap-stick , in which he is not distinguished from countless other comedians. There is cleverness in "Sunnyside" and good pantomime, but, also, too much slap-stick.
