    Storyline

    • Trivia
      While sulking in his Batmobile after Hobson (Dame Helen Mirren) gives him an aspirin and vitamin, Arthur (Russell Brand) scrolls through his phone to look for Naomi's number and we briefly see Katy Perry, Brand's then-wife, listed as a contact.
    • Goofs
      When Naomi and Arthur enjoy their "first date" in the middle of Grand Central Terminal, darkness is seen outside the windows as if its the middle of the night, even though they were in bright daylight moments earlier outside on 42nd Street.
    • Quotes

      Hobson: My name is Lillian and I am an alcoholic. I'm rich, I'm fabulously rich. I'm also generous and kind-hearted. My father died when I was young and my mother was absent most of the time. Is this an excuse for making a mockery of my life? Oh, it all looks very wild from the outside. I once went to bed with three European princesses at the same time, but: A. I can't remember anything about it, and B: apparently I vomited over two of them before losing control of my bladder on the third. Oh, yes, all such fun... until the fog parts and suddenly there's a hole so big that all the vintage champagne and all the Batmobiles on the world can't fill it. Then I'm all alone on my magnetic bed, wondering what venereal disease I've just caught.

      Arthur: Always the quiet ones.

    A Brand new Arthur
    Being a fan of Dudley and the original movie, I started watching this with some trepidation, probably ready to unleash criticism at the slightest weakness. You soon, however, realise that this is a completely different take on the idea and I had the feeling that everyone was perhaps trying a little too hard to be funny. There was certainly some snappy dialogue and it was a colourful, slushy experience that didn't succumb to my notoriously low boredom threshold.

    Overall, a lot of fun, despite some slightly nervy acting in places and a few scripting issues. Not laugh out loud like dear old Dudley, but an admirable attempt when you consider just how good the original was.
