Benigni is not Chaplin

Rating: 1/10 (21 February 1999)

I have seen most of Benigni movies available in US. Personally, I like Benigni. But comparing him with Chaplin is way too much.
Life is beautiful is an over-hyped movie and most likely will be remembered as a controversial movie like the Truman Show. The movie quickly lost me with its unrealistic style and rigid jokes. No offence to lovers of this movie. But for a real classic, you'd better check the AFI100 movies.
