"Before Batman, before Mickey Mouse, there was the Little Tramp, an everyman whose lack of name and address allowed him to go anywhere and do anything, as long as it was funny, or brought a tear." By Roger Ebert. [Sun-Times]

"It's a monumental biopic that cheapens the hero's successes by glossing over the failures that surely also shaped the man." By Rita Kempley. [Washington Post]

"Historically, it's a joke, crushing chronology, distorting characters, trivializing film history, but all that could be forgiven if it only had a brain, or a mind, or a heart." By Louis Black. [Austin Chronicle]

"Robert Downey Jr. gives a superb performance that has "Oscar" written all over it as Charlie Chaplin...Unfortunately, the film itself is less successful." By Chris Hicks. [Deseret News]
