Movie Reviews of Arthur
Movie Review: 3 stars out of 4
Summary: 4 Stars
The Bottom Line:
A fun and witty comedy that makes the most out of Moore and Gielgud's considerable comic talents, Arthur is hurt slightly by Liza Minelli (who isn't nearly as charming as the screenplay makes her character out to be), but nonetheless represents quite an enjoyable 110 minutes in front of a screen.
Summary of Arthur
Arthur is the worlds richest alcoholic. But all is not well in his pickled paradise. He will lose access to the familys great wealth if he doesnt marry the uptight debutante picked out for him by his parents. Hes not in love with her doesnt even like her. Whats worse is hes in love with a wacky shoplifter. Studio: Warner Home Video Release Date: 06/07/2005 Starring: John Gielgud Dudley Moore Run time: 97 minutes Rating: Pg Director: Steve GordonWhen you get caught between the moon and New York City (ahem), chances are you'll find yourself taking another look at this hit comedy starring Oscar-nominated Dudley Moore as the charmingly witty, perpetually drunken millionaire Arthur Bach. Arthur falls in love with a waitress (Liza Minnelli) who doesn't care about his money, but unfortunately Arthur's stern father wants him to marry a Waspy prima donna. The young lush turns to his wise and loyal butler (Oscar-winner John Gielgud) for assistance and advice. Arthur was a huge hit when released in 1981, as was its Oscar-winning theme song by Christopher Cross. Few remember that the movie was, sadly, the only one ever made by writer-director Steve Gordon, who died less than a year after the film's release. Consistently funny and heartwarming, Arthur was hailed as a tribute to the great romantic comedies of the 1930s. --Jeff Shannon
