SKINOPSISFor a PG-13 movie, you'll be stunned to see a bevy of topless young chorus line hotties backstage. How many is a bevy? Fuck if I know, but it's a lot. Plus, Milla Jovovich lets one of her perky nipples slip past her slip, and Moira Kelly has a delicious wardrobe malfunction. That is, she's wearing nothing up top while changing her wardrobe. -- Handy Reed

REVIEW
Director Attenborough's bio-pic of Charlie Chaplin aspires towards the sweep of his many epics and, while it's fine for the bigger scenes, it leaves the smaller, more personal moments lacking emotion. As Chaplin, Downey dons astonishingly accurate movements, gestures and expressions (and earned an Oscar nomination for it), but never really gets into Chaplin's mind or soul. The story covers Chaplin's poor childhood in England to his arrival in America and eventual stardom to his many ups and downs throughout his career. Though the screenplay is, for the most part, extremely witty, so much screen time is given to Chaplin's numerous love affairs and ongoing feud with J. Edgar Hoover, one has to wonder when the immortal tramp ever had time to devote to his own brilliant films. Geraldine Chaplin plays her own grandmother, Charlie's mentally unstable mom.
