Irresponsible playboy Arthur Bach (Russell Brand) has always relied on two things to keep him out of real trouble: his great wealth and the advice of his lifelong nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren). But now Arthur must undertake the most-expensive risk of his life. He must choose between an arranged marriage that will keep him in the money or a more-modest life with the only woman (Greta Gerwig) he has ever loved. A remake of the 1981 Oscar-winning film.

Critics Consensus

An irritating, unnecessary remake that demonstrates the libertine charm Russell Brand exudes in supporting roles turn against him when he's star of the show.

Deborah Ross

The Spectator

Whereas [Dudley] Moore somehow managed to make his Arthur endearing and lovable, Brand's Arthur is puerile, infantile and hateful.

Though it has fleeting funny moments, this Russell Brand vehicle is a sputtering Pinto that surprises more when it runs well than when it lurches to a stop.

Rated: D+

If there's anything worse than a watered-down, big-screen sitcom, it's a watered-down, big-screen sitcom that gets all socially responsible on us at the end

…a film that typifies everything about our ‘baby-man’ pandering media that Greta Gerwig currently stands against…

Rated: 1/5

I will never understand the hate for this movie. Genuinely has so much heart and quirkiness. At the very least, every woman in this film is amazing and I love them.

1/2 star is too much for this putrid piece of filth. Tge first version was terrible but somehow this is even worse. Russell Nobrand is absolutely one of the worst actors ever.

A remake we didn't need. Brand remaking Moore is the like the frat guy playing "Wonderwall" at the bonfire and it doesn't help he only had one speed from 2008 to 2012.
