Movie Reviews

Chicago Sun-Times - 9/10 by Roger EbertYou might be tempted to think that Arthur would be a bore, because it is about a drunk who is always trying to tell you stories. You would be right if Arthur were a party and you were attending it. But Arthur is a movie. And so its drunk, unlike real drunks, is more entertaining, more witty, more human, and more poignant than you are. He embodies, in fact, all the wonderful human qualities that drunks fondly, mistakenly believe the booze brings out in them.
The New York Times - 9/10 by Vincent CanbyArthur is a terrifically engaging, high-spirited screwball comedy about Arthur's more or less accidental salvation, largely through the love of a good, very poor but equally daffy young woman named Linda Marolla (Liza Minnelli).
Washington Post - 8/10 by Gary ArnoldThe highly polished production is well paced and imaginatively directed, although the happy union of prince and pauper is harder to swallow in 1981 than it would have been in 1931, when cinematic escapism brought relief to depression-era audiences.
Time - 8/10 by Richard SchickelA rich man, perpetually tiddly from drink, gets incompetent self into various muddles; unflappable gentleman's gentleman gets him out. It has always been an excellent joke, and Writer-Director Gordon has added a dash of sentiment to their relationship, trusting Sir John's expertise to keep things taut and tart, which he does admirably.
Newsweek - 6/10 by David AnsenSo little care has gone into the characterizations, the structure, and the situations that the film merely feints at significant comedy.
Empire - 6/10 by William ThomasWhile Dudley's booze-sodden antics tire after a while, there's relief in the form of John Gielgud as the old-fashioned English butler with a nice line in four-letter words, and a return to the screen from Liza Minelli, who plays the waitress Arthur falls in love with.
User Review - 8/10 by liamexeSteve Gordon passed away far too soon. Liza is competent in this even. They just don't make comedies like this any more, despite the great music. It is clear that the value of filmmaking has decreased when compared to the remake. Gielgud's comment that he will "notify the media" is the funniest one ever. The beginning, when he arrives at the stuffy gathering with his hooker date, is the greatest part. The movie might have been cut by roughly ten minutes, like with most movies.
User Review - 7/10 by Compi24The first and only film to be both written and directed by Steve Gordon, who tragically passed away at the age of 44 a year after the release of this movie, "Arthur" is one of the very few comedies I've seen that I can say I thoroughly enjoyed, yet sparsely laughed during. Granted, I did smile or at least make a mental note of when I thought the movie was being relatively clever in its comedic stylings. Still, though, I'm shocked at how hand-in-hand the comedy remains with the other elements of the movie, namely the character work and overall spirit of the film. The relationship between Dudley Moore's titular protagonist and Sir John Gielgud's Academy Award winning turn as the wise-cracking butler, "Hobson," was more than just hilarious. You get honest-to-God emotion from the more serious aspects of their bond. And, I have to say, for being a comedy of the more romantic persuasion, it's been a minute since I've seen one where I honestly enjoyed seeing the two leads perform together in the same scene. Sweet and impressive.
User Review - 6/10 by Gamzguy17The film dangerously teeters into trifle territory with an obsession of booze humour, a mentality of money is everything, and a predictable odd meets reasonable love story coupled with a disappointing Liza Minelli performance.
 Thankfully, "Arthur" manages to reach safe ground by its end as it recognizes the dark side of rich class, shows empathy for its titular character (a difficult performance to make likeable by Dudley Moore), and has touches of wit to string along with (the best lines are delivered by John Gielgud).
 These qualities are only enough to provide an average film though.
User Review - 4/10 by JLuis_001Is it a crime against this ''comedy classic'' to say that I wasn't amused by it? I found it boring and to be honest Dudley Moore was as annoying as Russell Brand in the role.
