| We rented this movie last night. It was excellent. Robert Downey
JR was great as Chaplin. I also thought Kevin Kline was very good as
Douglas Fairbanks. I agree it is very difficult to read the ending
credits. I would give the movie a 4 out of 5.

| Since I read mostly autobios and bios I was looking forward to seeing
this....I rented it last week sometime and I too enjoyed it very much.
I have a copy of the book it was based on but haven;t gotton around to
reading it. I remember most of the complaints the critics have but
like most movies and just about all non-fiction the critics claimed the
movie didn;t do him justice and even glossed over some of the more
tawdry things in his life....Frankly I expected that - I mean it was
based on CC's autobiography - so puhleaze....
Anyway - yes I loved the cameos and bit parts and I enjoyed trying to
spot them - Dan Akroyd did play Mack Sennet as a screaming, flaming
buthole - but hey - how do we know he wasn't really that way.....Kevin
Kline was *excellent* playing Doug Fairbanks and I'm glad they added
the part of the book publisher played by .......(drawing a blank here)
to help ease us through the very short story that covered over 80
years.
Definitly worth the rental fee **** out of ***** (I would have liked
more on his film making and how he created his movies etc but hey, we
can't have everything)

| Of course - Anthony Hopkins - I could picture him and him in his many
roles including Howards End and Silence of the lambs etc....
Thanks
