Found a Jackie Chan movie that did the trick. Kung Fu Yoga (2017).
Per The Hollywood Reporter*, this India-China co-production project received negative reviews for perpetuating stereotypes. I think that criticism is valid. However, if you just want to not take life too seriously, kick back, chill out, and be entertained, add this movie to your watch list.
I gave this film gets 5 out of 5 stars for adorable cuteness.

I have heard of Kung Fu Yoga ,but have not watched it so far.I find that Jackie Chan's films have Chaplin's acting style.

Yes. I saw Chan in an interview and he said because he could never match or equal Bruce Lee, he turned his martial arts/acting into comedy. Never thought to link him with Chaplin but now that I think of it you're right about the style. Love both those guys.

@cmoneyspinner Chan does make it in his kongfu comedy.I like Chaplin's films very much,which engage both mind and eye.

Yeah. I was tired and wanted something to just chill out and fall asleep. My sons pay for a Netflix subscription and I found it. I just couldn't get started on a Korean series because I would have to read the subtitles. But I plan to get started in a K-drama soon. I was obsessed for a while with watching them. But my eyes got weary from reading English subtitles so I had to take a break.

Haven't watched that one, but I would never forget one behind-the-scene take where he said "Cheese!" when he was supposed to say "Freeze!". I think the movie was Rush Hour. I thought that was cute.
