Robert Downey Jr., does an impressive job as the title character, perfectly recreating Chaplin's range of English accents and mimicking, with astonishing precision, the gait and gestures of the Little Tramp.

Presented as the reminiscences of an elderly Chaplin, the narrative opens with the comic's impoverished East London childhood, and progresses through his vaudeville and Hollywood successes to his virtual banishment from the United States, and eventually his welcome back to accept a special Academy Award -- 20 years too late.

Reviews for Chaplin
For all the movie's undisputed competence, grand and inspired moments are thin on the ground.
Downey's surprisingly dead-on impersonation of Chaplin is an absolute knockout and well worth the price of admission.
It's a loving and often endearing homage to a man, but as with all things Hollywood, it ain't history
Actually, it's a pretty bad movie, but Robert Downey Jr. is so great that you can forget nearly all of the clunky storytelling.
The movie was clearly made with a lot of love, and it has one deciding factor that sells it: Robert Downey Jr.
Robert Downey enhales Chaplin's Autobiography and wears the Little Tramp's persona effectively
Even if it is just Robert Downey, Jr., playing Chaplin, he can kick a bully with a panache and a class that Jean-Claude Van Damme or Steven Segal can barely even dream of.
