Movie Reviews of Arthur
Movie Review: Flippin' Sweet!
Summary: 5 Stars
No one doesn't love this movie. Classic. A lot of fun quotes, you'll be repeating lines from this movie for the rest of your life, and it gets funnier the more you watch it. Here are a few of my personal favorites:
"He's taking the knife out of the cheese! You think he wants some cheese?!"
"Arthur take my hand."
"But that would leave you with one."
"A real woman could get you to stop drinking."
"It'd have to be a real big woman."
"Don't you hate Perry's wife?"
"Pardon me miss... Oh, you're a hedge!"
Sometimes I wonder how much was improvised. It's a very fun movie, and "isn't fun the best thing to have?"
Movie Review: Best Dudley Moore Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
Dudley Moore at his finest. I've seen 'Arthur' touted as a "screwball" fest that seems to hail from the past, yet I disagree. Arthur seemed to me both original and sentimental. Moore's drunken, child-like, character confronts mortality within the only father figure apparent, John Gielgud's "Hobson", Arhtur's butler/nanny. Touching and effective, we find that through Arthur's eyes, we too can remain adults yet feel as children through the guidances of those we love. All involved turn in superb performances. Gielgud's performance is not only incredible but touching as the "father-apparent". Do yourself a favor and buy this movie.Movie Review: Not a great film BUT GREAT PERFORMANCES
Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this in 1981 in the theatre... it was the first I dared to see without my parents, but with friends.... "Independent" was not a word for me those days hehehe... In Oslo it run for over a year, it`success was huge;-)
I recently saw it during the Xmas season and I must say that Dudley Moore is a charming Arthur - loveable, but also a bit tragic... I have known many Arthurs in my life - so this is NOT a farce-performance at all. John Gielgud is alarmingly miscast, no matter what the Academy said... Liza Minnelli is right on target and the chemistry with Moore is genuine.
Movie Review: Excellent Chemistry
Summary: 5 Stars
The chemistry between Dudley Moore and Sir John Gielgud is superb. Both veterans of the British stage, their timing is impeccable. One would never think that a Shakespearian-trained performer like Gielgud could do comedy on this style. I don't believe that actors should compete for awards, but Sir John definatly deserved his Oscar for this one. The only regrets I have with the DVD version is that it's not in widescreen. I wonder why? I hope it one day does come out in this version.Movie Review: A Wonderful Story
Summary: 5 Stars
Arthur is an excellent movie; it has hysterically funny parts, sad scenes, lovable characters, and excellent acting. In response to the reviewer that gave Arthur 0 or 1 star, I would argue that most humans can identify with this film. Even if it is an unlikely story of a rich but drunk man loving a poor, charming girl, it's a happy story that makes people laugh. Those who can't appreciate good stories like Arthur have no business watching any movies at all.
