Featured review
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.
