What critics compared Chaplin to
This isn't, after all, a comprehensive bio-drama like Richard Attenborough's Chaplin.
Downey goes full black, or at least Kirk’s interpretation of such, and the result is perhaps the most complete comic transformation since he put on the wig and makeup as the Little Tramp in Chaplin (which gets hysterically referenced here.)
In 2008, Lionsgate re-released Chaplin for its 15th anniversary, and probably to cash in on current Downey fever (with his justly celebrated parts in this year's Iron Man and Tropic Thunder ).
