Review of Arthur Newman (2012) by Maha M — 27 Sep 2013

I was rather excited to see these 2 British actors play middle Americans dealing with life...however, while their acting is as typical excellent, the premise of the film falls flat. Why the movie wandered into the gratuitous sexual exploits is likely the typical Hollywood ploy to obtain a wider audience, the aspect of how it even worked into the plot still escapes me.

I cannot recommend this film to anyone---and sadly Colin Firth and Emily Blunt have made me sheepish to consider their work of value in the future.
