About this movie

Directed by Sir Richard Attenborough and starring Robert Downey, Jr. and an extraordinary cast, Chaplin is a loving, grand scale portrait of the Little Tramp's amazing life and times. His poverty-stricken childhood in England comes to life, along with his friendships with Mack Sennett (Dan Aykroyd) and Douglas Fairbanks (Kevin Kline), his many wives and scandalous affairs, and his relentless pursuit by J. Edgar Hoover. Chaplin is the larger-than life story of the actor behind the icon and a stunning depiction of a bygone era when Hollywood was at its most glamorous.

Chin Up Chaplin Smile, this film is phenomenal. Robert Downey Jr delivers a breathtaking performance. Seeing him, it's as if he were made for the part- he certainly looks the part. He acts; he dances and never loses "the magic". Words are cheap and throwaway, spoken one moment and gone in the next. Action radiates emotion. Thoroughly enjoyable and extremely watchable yet sad at times, at those times when we learn of Chaplin's lost and failed loves. Though in the end, the boy done good. "CHAPLIIIIIN!"
