I was crying with laughter watching this. Russell Brand, Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner can put together one hilarious film.
Irresponsible charmer Arthur Bach (Russell Brand) has always relied on two things to get by: his limitless fortune and the good sense of lifelong nanny Hobson (Helen Mirren) to keep him out of trouble. Now he faces his biggest challenge - choosing between an arranged marriage that will ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future with the one thing money can't buy, Naomi (Greta Gerwig), the only woman he has ever loved. With Naomi's inspiration and some unconventional help from Hobson, Arthur will take the most expensive risk of his life and finally learn what it means to become a man, in this re-imagining of the classic romantic comedy Arthur
The original 1981 comedy - which earned four Oscar nominations - starred Dudley Moore as Arthur, a boozy playboy who is set to inherit a fortune if he marries an heiress his family thinks will make something out of him. But he falls in love with a working-class woman (Liza Minnelli) and turns to his valet (John Gielgud) for help when his family makes him choose between money and love.
Thirty years on, Brand will play the loveable wealthy drunk while Helen Mirren does her take on the Gielgud role by playing Arthur's longtime nanny. Elsewhere, Jennifer Garner plays the well-off heiress that Arthur doesn't want to marry (Nick Nolte is her dad), while Greta Gerwig (Greenberg, The House of the Devil) will be the poor girl Arthur falls in love with.
Directed by Modern Family's, Jason Winer - with a script by Borat and Bruno writer, Peter Baynham - Arthur will be in cinemas April 8.
