There were some decent plot twists and intrigue on this show.

But it was sabatoged by most of the acting:

Pamela Sue Martin was very hard to take in her spoiled brat routine, Kathleen Beller and Heather Locklear were just plain awful (as always) and Linda Evans and John James were Mannequins.

John Forsythe, Joan Collins, and Lee Bergere offered the only decent acting and characters.

All the episodes were over explained and too much filler. There was only about 30-35 minutes of real plot crammed into an hour.

Unfortunately, it ripped off Dallas too much: using oil business as a backdrop and starting the whole show with a marriage that no one likes to set the family disputes in motion and having Joan Collins as the J. R. Ewing character.

Forgive me, but a documentary about Charlie Chaplin should be about.... I dunno.... Charlie Chaplin?

First off, the narrator is atrocious: pretentious, condescending and full of phony "wonder." Couldn't get past it.

Also, the material is paced so slackly, pulling out details that no one cares about and with nothing new to add except some boring bits about his family.

Let's see an in-depth look at his art and the history of his movies, not this boring irrelevant tripe.

The footage is very impressive and the fake title screens are laughably bad.

This production company needs to get out of the documentary business....fast!

Movie doesn't work, main characters are too stupid and gullible, I understand how at first a "cop" can be threatening on the phone but after a few minutes you have to be really stupid to believe he would ask you to do any of the things portrayed.

I understand it really happened, but in order to work as a movie with have to identify we these folks. I've just never been able to identify with idiots.

Also, the editing and camera angles were just way too obviously set up to avoid too much nudity. Movie became a technical exercise with too much cutting and too many edits instead of having a voyeur "fly on the wall" feel (like the actual videos capturing this.)

It felt like before and after every shot Dreama Walker, her agent, her lawyer and the Director had to fight about every square inch of skin that was shown.

This country is headed into dark times if there are a lot of people stupid enough to fall for a scam like this.
