It's no Modern Times, but...
Nailed It
A film about the troubled and controversial life of the master comedy filmmaker Charles Chaplin.
What can I say? This was a really good film. It touched on all the highlights of Chaplin's career, both high and low. And even with the lengthy run time, I feel like it could have been even longer. It had such a great pace and was enjoyable to watch. And the cast. Wow. Milla Jovovich before she blew up? Diane Lane? Very good casting.
Robert Downey Jr nailed it. He has the look, he did the physical comedy, and that had to take a lot of training... the drunk routine, wow! I am so glad that Downey is back on top these days with "Iron Man" and other films. He had a rough patch for a while, but he is far better of an actor than he is generally given credit for.
