'Arthur:' Review

10:57 PM PDT 4/4/2011 by Kirk Honeycutt

Russell Brand, Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner star in Jason Winer's film about a lovable drunken billionaire playboy.

It's still an open question whether in this day of increased concerns about alcoholism and health you can do a remake of 1981's Arthur, a comedy about a lovable drunk, because the new Arthur, with Russell Brand playing the Dudley Moore role, is a mere burlesque riffing off the old Arthur rather than an actual remake that has reconceived or rethought the original film.
