Chaplin's best
Hilarious. Parents might want to explain much of the film to children, though. Also, please note that it was made before the horrors of the Holocaust were revealed, so it isn't completely accurate.

A movie that is content appropriate for anyone above the age of 8, but none of your kids will get it unless they know WWII
No concerns, but all I can say is this movie is funny, funny, clean, did I mention funny? I am a history buff, and Chaplin's satirical Anti-Axis film was just so awesome. My favorite scene is when Adoyf and Benzino are hitting eachother with spaghetti and stuff, AND the scene where Adoyf tries to intimidate Benzino with chairs, but it backfires.

Very intelligent satire/parody is hilarious, but also amazingly well written.
This is a satire that makes fun of Adolf Hitler and the holocaust.
Charlie Chaplin's great writing, directing and acting skills are at the highest level.
The movie has positive messages, it fights against racism and the holocaust.
In a time where WW2 was still going on, it was very risky.
What if Hitler won the world war? It was brave from Chaplin to make this film.
The script is great, it is funny but also has its serious moments (but is very light-hearted though).
It is mature, of course, but there is nothing about this movie that is inaproppriate for kids. Even though they might not understand it.
