Movie Review – Arthur, Two Thumbs Up!

I will be the first person to admit that I am not a fan of Russell Brand.  Correction.  I will be the first person to admit that until very very recently, I was not a fan of Russell Brand.  This movie changed all of that for me.

Jennifer Garner is as awkward and ridiculous as ever (it’s my blog, deal with it) but she is perfect for the role of psychotic rich girl after a childish man’s billions…

Helen Mirren is absolutely fantastic.  Funny, charming, loving, and ruthless all at the same time.  I thoroughly enjoyed watching her transform from this tough woman who threatens to bite Evander’s ear off to this living mother figure doing what it is she has to do help Arthur find true happiness.

Greta Gerwig and Russell Brand have absolutely amazing chemistry.

I truly don’t know if it is the fact that I walked into this movie with such low hopes that made me fall absolutely in love but I laughed, and cried, and am definitely looking forward to watching it again.  I suggest you get out there and see it.
