Arthur Bach(Russell Band) is an irresponsible, charming man who never grow-up. Arthur relied on two main things in his life to get by, his fortune and his lifelong nanny who is also his best friend Mrs. Hobson(Helen Mirren) to keep him out of trouble. Arthur spending everyday muddily through life without any direction, spending his mother Vivienne(Geraldine James) money without a care in the world, until Vivienne gave Arthur an ultimatum, to marry beautiful but unlovable, Susan(Jennifer Garner), an ambitious corporate exec at Arthur mother company or lose his billion dollar inheritance. It a deal that Arthur could have taking if not for a chance meeting with Naomi(Greta Gerwig) a New York City tour guide. Can he walk away from the money or give himself a chance for true love.
This is a new twist to a classic story Arthur, but is it better then the original. And the answer is no, though it not a bad remake, I feel that if it isn't broken don't fix it. Good try and this movie does have some funny and touching moments, so it not a complete waste of time. Arthur would be best enjoy at home from the redbox.
I give this movie 3 Stars.
