An average movie

Since I'm a huge fan of Charles Chaplin, of course, I was really eager to check this flick. Even though the whole thing had a pretty bad reputation, I was still looking for to watch it, especially since Marlon Brando was in it. Anyway, according to Quentin Tarantino, most of the great directors have messed up their 3 or 4 last movies and after watching Chaplin's last directing feature, I would tend to agree with this statement. Indeed, after 10 long years, Charles Chaplin finally came up with this new movie which was his first and only movie in color. This time, he was working with Marlon Brando who was one of the greatest actors that ever lived so you could expect something amazing with those two. Unfortunately, they didn't get along and the movie was a critical and financial failure leading Chaplin to a deep depression. Honestly, this movie was really weak. Indeed, it was basically just a really boring romantic comedy, the jokes were not really funny and there was absolutely no chemistry between Marlon Brando and Sophia Loren (who didn't get along either). Eventually, it is a real shame that one of the greatest directors would end such a prestigious career with such a disappointing feature. To conclude, to be honest, I'm not sure it is actually worth a look, even if you are like me a die hard fan of Charles Chaplin's work.
