I’m really bummed that this movie fell flat. I am a huge fan of the original Arthur starring Dudley Moore, but I love Russell Brand so I was super excited about this “re-telling”. The changes made to the script worked well. So what went wrong? The misfit cast! Russell Brand is funny but didn’t have the acting chops to pull off the emotional scenes. Helen Mirren did well but that’s just not enough. Greta and Jennifer are beautiful but their characters were unmoving. And, it’s like Luis Guzman was in a totally different movie! You’ll laugh at parts but it can’t hold a candle to the original.
To See or not to See? Netflix it
★★☆☆☆
