Russell Brand reinvents the role of lovable billionaire Arthur Bach, an irresponsible charmer who has always relied on two things to get by: his limitless fortune and lifelong nanny Hobson (Academy Award® winner* Helen Mirren) to keep him out of trouble. Now he faces his biggest challenge: choosing between an arranged marriage to ambitious corporate exec Susan (Jennifer Garner) that will ensure his lavish lifestyle, or an uncertain future with the one thing money can’t buy – Naomi (Greta Gerwig), his true love. With Naomi’s inspiration and some unconventional help from Hobson, Arthur will take the most expensive risk of his life and learn what it means to be a man in this re-imagining of the beloved Oscar®-winning* romantic comedy Arthur.

I don't like Russell Brand at all, but he was the perfect choice to play the simple-minded Arthur. I also liked the female cast featuring Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner. As far as the story is concerned, it is not an original gem, but on the other hand, the plot moved along, I was not bored, so just a clean average that does not offend. In short, an unpretentious and relaxing film that was well suited for a long bus journey.

A surprisingly good comedy. I was (justifiably, I think, given the films I've seen with him so far) scared by Russell Brand, but unnecessarily so. I liked the verbal shootouts between Arthur and the sarcastic nanny played by Helen Mirren the most, but there were many more funny moments. Thank God for them. I can safely say that I was entertained from beginning to end. The end was not surprising, but what do you expect from a tale about reforming a debauched alcoholic billionaire?
