A blander, more responsible 'Arthur' with far fewer laughs and, be warned, a painful update on the classic Burt Bacharach title tune over the end credits.
Trevor Johnston, Time Out

Russell Brand gives a career-killing performance.

It's amazing how a lifeless, pointless remake can provoke pangs of nostalgia about a mediocre movie. Such is the case with Arthur.
James Berardinelli, ReelViews
Rotten
[An] innocuous, blandly therapeutic remake of a comedy that wasn't exactly edgy to begin with.
Justin Chang, Variety
