Rating: 2.5/4 --
While it is essentially a one-joke comedy, it is buoyed by likable performances by its capable cast,

The Dispatch (Lexington, NC)
The original Arthur was a pretty mirthless affair, but the crude remake starring Russell Brand is infinitely worse...

Guardian
Although his gear-loose, party guy style fits the role, Brand's stamp on Arthur is good for some mild laughs but not much else.

Playboy Online
A pitiable remake of the sloshed "classic" from 1981.
New Yorker
3 stars out of 4 -- ARTHURS is a fairly close remake of the great 1981 Dudley Moore movie, with pleasures of its own....The dialogue is well-written -- witty and quick and not clunky.

Rating: C --
This feels manufactured, demographically calculated whimsy.

Lacking the charm and humor of the original, this unfunny remake is completely unnecessary.

Product Description:
The immature heir to a billion-dollar empire finds himself cut off from the family fortune after rejecting his arranged marriage to a nouveau riche socialite, and instead falling for a free-spirited unlicensed tour guide in this remake of the sentimental 1981 comedy starring Dudley Moore. Arthur (Russell Brand) was raised in the lap of luxury. His family is wealthy beyond compare, and ever since he was a child his every whim has been catered to by his nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren), and his chauffeur, Bitterman (Luis Guzman). But the party starts to wind down when Arthur's domineering mother (Geraldine James) insists that he marry Susan (Jennifer Garner), the daughter of a self-made millionaire (Nick Nolte) who isn't above intimidating his future son-in-law into marriage. Vehemently opposed to the idea due to the fact that he and Susan have nothing in common, Arthur rejects the proposal after falling in love with Linda (Greta Gerwig), an aspiring children's book author who pays the rent by giving unofficial tours of Grand Central Station. As a result, Arthur has to decide if he can face life as a normal member of the working class -- and without his trusty flask of booze. Television veteran Jason Winer (MODERN FAMILY) directs from a script by Peter Baynham (BRÜNO, BORAT).
