I haven't seen the Dudley Moore original, so I can't comment on how the remake compares to the original. What can I say that is Russell Brand makes
Arthur worth seeing completely by himself. Without Brand,
Arthur's straightforward storyline would have made this a very standard, average film. Brand completely owns the role of Arthur. His charm and charisma is what makes this film work. It's not that rest of the cast is bad, it's just that Brand is so great he just puts everyone else to shame. Russell Brand really bolsters
Arthur and makes it a solid piece of light and fluffy entertainment. If you're a fan of Brand, watch this film. If not, stay far away because Brand is the only reason this film works.
3.5/5 Stars
