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. Aug 30, 2018 Full Review Kimber Myers The Playlist 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+ Aug 15, 2013 Full Review Scott Foundas Film Comment Magazine 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 Jun 20, 2013 Full Review Eddie Harrison film-authority.com …a film that typifies everything about our ‘baby-man’ pandering media that Greta Gerwig currently stands against… Rated: 1/5 Oct 16, 2023 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The remake stands apart by giving each character weightier motivations. Rated: 3/4 Jul 31, 2023 Full Review Rene Jordan El Nuevo Herald (Miami) Irritating vulgarity. [Full review in Spanish] Oct 6, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Mel K 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. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/04/24 Full Review donnie m good comedy, my favorite part is the relationship between arthur and hobson and the end-happy ending Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/26/24 Full Review alan g 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. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/28/24 Full Review Munkhchimeg T Recommended to the people who love dogs. Meaningful good movie ✨ Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/20/24 Full Review Ross M For a film consisting entirely of one joke and asking the audience to relate to the 'issues' of being superrich, the emotional aspect was redemptive and the slow revelation was about as vindicating of the film's premise as could be expected. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 11/22/22 Full Review Audience Member Predictable mindless fun 2.8 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/17/22 Full Review Read all reviews
