I'm shocked that this movie has only 4 reviews at the time of me writing this...

The real Chaplin had his body stolen from his grave in 1978 by two poor farmers wanting at first 1 million dollars. Eventually they were caught because they were impatient and decided to actually threaten the family as they weren't getting the results they wanted leading to more intense police work. They ended up doing 4 years prison. The wife of Charlie insisted that the law take it easy on the two because that's the kinda ppl the Chaplins were.

This movie is basically a spoof of that incident. Without giving away too much, the movie has the feel of Simon Pegg and David Schwimmers "the big nothing". The jokes and editing are fast paced. The story keeps you invested. The two main characters are a perfect comedy duo similar to a modern day Abbot and Costello or Simon Pegg and Nick Frost (Cornetto trilogy era). It's very well paced and written. You could tell from the first 5 mins that this was going to be good. It's a comedy of errors type movie. The supporting cast is good. I saw this on Tubi. If you like late 90s/00 comedy, have seen a few Chaplin movies and have a few hours. Check this out. I was pleasantly surprised how good it was. Shout out to everyone involved in this.

Cal (Simon Phillips) and Terry (Doug Phillips) are British brothers and hopeless con-men in Las Vegas. They owe $30k to a mob boss. Their last con is a ridiculous scam and the cops are after them. Terry has another drunk idea. Steal Charlie Chaplin's corpse.

This real life premise is ridiculous enough to turn into a fun fictional screwball crime comedy. This is a low budget indie. These guys may even be brothers. I don't know. They are mildly funny. The accent probably kept me from really getting them. They could be fun side characters. This is mostly a borderline indie production. Some parts are better than others.

" . . . reviewers" have written? Before answering that question, why not ask yourself about how many flicks you've previously enjoyed that involving digging up dead presidents (TOMB RAIDER), serial killers (SILENCE OF THE LAMBS) or prophets (RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK). I'm sure that if French film makers had as much imagination as those in the USA, they'd be able to come up with a rip-snorting movie about digging up Joan of Arc. However, America's Tinsel Town thinks that its self-proclaimed "stars" are somehow sacrosanct, and therefore entitled to be immune from common grave robbers. Nevertheless, with such American folk heroes as Abe Lincoln, John Dillinger and Jimmy Hoffa all having been at the center of American Diggers plots over the years, it is more than hypocritical to disparage STEALING CHAPLIN for championing the American Way.
