After 1:07, to be exact, and all that time, the story was weak, the lines were unrealistic, accents poor, characters unestablished buy two great actors, at that, finding it very hard to make some good out of what they had to work with, misc. were bad, it finally started getting interesting. Not a complete waste of time, but I almost killed it at 25 minutes, then started skipping till it got half way descent. I would not recommend this movie for 2 hrs of your life, unless it's all you got to watch up in a cabin; Snowed in. It's been done before. Same story at least a dozon times. I see a lot of people wrote good things about it, so don't take my opinion too seriously. It might have something I missed, that made it good. I just couldn't take anymore of the what the first 25 min. had to offer.

Norton Has done a lot better, or maybe his character was to have a shaby mentally challenged act. Either way, De Niro is the pro as always and Malin Brando, the big boss. Brando shows of his impecable artistic, well aged talent. If you watch the DVD, check out the special features. Brando and De Niro show of there many improvisational clips that were finally picked from, to roll in the movie.Nortons' worst movie in my book.

Even if you dont like Chaplin, or R.Downey.Jr.,this is a must see for every one. The acting is phenomenal. Robert was robbed of the Oscar for this one. I never knew much about Chaplin, or liked him that well, but you have to put yourself in that day, technology, the performing arts and humor.Chaplin lived a very challenging life, and took it all with a "SMILE"
