I wasn't at all interested in watching this movie. I figured it couldn't touch the original. So one day, my husband just happened to be watching it... on cable and I sat down to drink coffee...not really interested in watching it. After about 15 miniutes and a full hour into the movie, I asked him to start the movie from the beginning ! He had no problem with doing that as he thought it was hilarious. So, yes I would definitely recommend. Don't compare it to the original. It's a different movie and should be watched as such. Full Review

A fairly close remake of the great 1981 Dudley Moore movie, with pleasures of its own.Full Review

Roger Ebert
Chicago Sun-Times

The new Arthur is a feathery screwball satire, competent on its own terms, yet as the movie went on I found it increasingly hard to separate the character's self-indulgence from that of the actor playing him.Full Review

Owen Gleiberman
Entertainment Weekly

The star does his patented shtick, supported by a handful of blue-chip supporting performers, as the story lurches through contrived, seminaughty comic set pieces toward a sentimental ending.Full Review

Despite his cockney-accented verbosity, Brand does not convey the effortless conviviality that Dudley Moore did in the part.Full Review

The movie lacks joy. It has poignancy and intelligence, and it holds interest, but it never opens up into happiness and fantasy. Maybe it's the recession.Full Review
