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

| Original Score: 1/5 | Oct 16, 2023

The remake stands apart by giving each character weightier motivations.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 31, 2023

Irritating vulgarity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Oct 6, 2022

While the story itself remains largely the same, many of the minor details and events have been remodeled for the worse.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Nov 30, 2020

Arthur still does as he pleases.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 2, 2020

While it is essentially a one-joke comedy, it is buoyed by likable performances by its capable cast,

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 7, 2019

This Arthur closely tracks the plot of the original, but it has a heart of its own.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jan 8, 2019

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

| Aug 30, 2018

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.

| Aug 5, 2015

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.

| Original Score: D+ | Aug 15, 2013

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

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Jun 30, 2013

This feels manufactured, demographically calculated whimsy.

| Original Score: C | Jun 22, 2013

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

The Arthur remake seems to follow the recipe as best it can, but will leave viewers wishing they had just eaten at home. It has enough one liners to keep the movie moving along, but it lacks the heart and depth that Moore's charm brought to the role

| Apr 21, 2013

Slapstick dramedy fans will likely get some laughs out of the Arthur remake but the film is stuck in the same nave adolescence as its titular character.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 2, 2012

Gives Brand ample opportunity and excuse to trot out his wisecracking, chemically-addled man-child schtick in a sturdy and believable narrative context.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 7, 2012

| Original Score: C | Feb 14, 2012

In this rehash of the 1981 smash - which featured fellow English comic Dudley Moore in the title role - Brand looks and sounds comparatively bland.

| Original Score: 4/10 | Dec 18, 2011

There is no real reason for this movie to exist, but with Brand's winning star turn, it's likable and its heart is in the right place.

| Original Score: B | Nov 5, 2011

Russell Brand's a funny guy. But he has real trouble when he tries to spread his dramatic wings into any moment that doesn't land on a punch line.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Sep 9, 2011
