Before I begin this review let me make it clear that I did not see the original Arthur from 1981. But I plan to see it, mostly because hear it is amazing, and because, Hollywood being Hollywood, it has probably nothing to do with this 2011 remake starring Russell Brand. Arthur (2011) is not a bad movie; it certainly has its moments. But besides Brand’s antics and one-liners it offers very little I did not get from watching Get Him to The Greek, where he plays another incredibly eccentric, incredibly rich, and incredibly lost drunk.
