Arthur Ratings & Reviews
The Playlist
Kimber Myers
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.
Film Comment Magazine
Scott Foundas
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
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
While far from terrible, I can't really say this one is all that good, either, and like spending a night out having one to many the only thing lasting about this new journey with Arthur Bach is the unhappy hangover one is left with the very next morning.
The New Yorker
David Denby
A pitiable remake of the sloshed "classic" from 1981.
Slant Magazine
Jesse Cataldo
If this version fails, it's at least partially because it's been sent on the cinematic equivalent of a suicide mission.
New York Magazine/Vulture
David Edelstein
Russell Brand gives a career-killing performance.
IFC.com
Matt Singer
A strained Russell Brand is not a funny Russell Brand.
Variety
Justin Chang
[An] innocuous, blandly therapeutic remake of a comedy that wasn't exactly edgy to begin with.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
I don't buy the notion that this is all a lavish fantasy to cheer us in troubled times. It's too clueless and condescending for that.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Arthur may not be much of a movie but Russell Brand is one heck of an Arthur.

How you react to Arthur will largely depend on your expectations. If you've never seen, or heard of, the 1981 movie Arthur you might find the new movie of the same name fairly...
IndieWire
Eric Kohn
In light of the deplorable track record for Hollywood remakes, "Arthur" is actually a fairly serviceable return to the genially funny traits of the original and borrows some of its best moments.

It would be impossible to top the original "Arthur" but this modern version is a consistently funny and sweet if not overly inspired remake.
CinemaBlend
Katey Rich
Gerwig doesn't single-handedly save the movie but she does seem to have a calming influence on those around her, bringing out the best particularly in Brand and Mirren.
Slate
Dana Stevens
If you get caught between the moon and New York City -- or even just between two movies at the multiplex -- the best that you can do is skip this one.
New York Daily News
Joe Neumaier
This "Arthur" is missing a soul.
Washington Post
Michael O'Sullivan
Was the lovable lush ever funny? I mean, honestly?
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
Russell Brand takes on a thankless task and earns at least some thanks.
New York Post
Kyle Smith
Attempting to fill Dudley Moore's top hat in "Arthur," Russell Brand rapidly descends the rungs of the comedy ladder from "unfunny" to "irritating" to "vulgar" to the bottom one - "Andy Dick."
Film.com
Eric D. Snider
With a handful of solid laughs and a modicum of snappy dialogue, it's liable to amuse, if not overwhelm, an audience seeking casual, forgettable entertainment.
