Now he faces his biggest challenge--choosing between an arranged marriage that will ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future with the one thing money can't buy, Naomi (Greta Gerwig), the only woman he has ever loved.

Saw this the other day. I remember watching the original with my parents way back in the day. This version was missing something. Maybe it was the difference of Dudley Moore vs Russell Brand. I always see Brand as a smart ass and it was hard to get over that. For me it just wasn't that funny and in the end was a very forgettable movie.

Don't want to see it. As I am not a RB fan. As Mad Cow Disease hit it head on! The original is the origina!

I'm a Helen Mirren and she is a very good actress. However changing Hobson from a Butler to a Nannie was another thing that was hard for me to swallow. I think the original story just worked better with Hobson being a butler.

Its even simpler than that:

Dudley Moore = AWESOME

Russell Brand = *****!

Not awesome. Each are mediocre in their own way.

I agree and the original Arthur was vastly overrated. Dudley Moore keeps going from extreme overacting to 'serious' Dudley Moore, sometimes several times in a scene. The "hot girl" in that movie was Liza freaking Minelli for crying out loud.

Totally only about 3 jokes in that movie. 1) I shall alert the media 2) Walk this way 3) where is the rest of that moose.
