Irresponsible playboy Arthur Bach (Russell Brand) has always relied on two things to keep him out of real trouble: his great wealth and the advice of his lifelong nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren). But now Arthur must undertake the most-expensive risk of his life. He must choose between an arranged marriage that will keep him in the money or a more-modest life with the only woman (Greta Gerwig) he has ever loved. A remake of the 1981 Oscar-winning film.

Critics Consensus

An irritating, unnecessary remake that demonstrates the libertine charm Russell Brand exudes in supporting roles turn against him when he's star of the show.

Whereas [Dudley] Moore somehow managed to make his Arthur endearing and lovable, Brand's Arthur is puerile, infantile and hateful.

Though it has fleeting funny moments, this Russell Brand vehicle is a sputtering Pinto that surprises more when it runs well than when it lurches to a stop.

If there's anything worse than a watered-down, big-screen sitcom, it's a watered-down, big-screen sitcom that gets all socially responsible on us at the end

…a film that typifies everything about our ‘baby-man’ pandering media that Greta Gerwig currently stands against…

The remake stands apart by giving each character weightier motivations.

A sad remake that lacks the charm and wit of the original. Skip this one.

it was stupid. How long are we going to endure comedies about rich retards? Main character is so much retarded, that it is almost unethical to laugh.

What is up with Brand's voice? Is it always that high? Why is he always drinking Maker's Mark? Multi millionaire don't drink that shit. My homegirl Mirren is the bomb as per. A fun flick, might have to watch the original to compare.
