Review of Arthur (2011) by Lane Z — 16 Jun 2012
Russel Brand is an odd looking fellow, but I'll admit I cracked up a few times in this movie. Gretta Gerwig is very cute to watch on film, but other than the few times I laughed at some of the silly writing and jokes, this movie falls flat.
Jennifer Gardner is pitiful. She's never been a star actress in my eyes. Helen Mirren plays the best role of the entire film, and without spoiling it, they just don't give her enough lines. It's not a bad story, but you just have trouble deciding on whether this movie is trying to be raunchy rater R or slightly less and PG13.
I know this is a remake, and I didn't bother with the original, but when do they ever surpass or even match the first movie?
