The film, though I love Dudley Moore as a comic genius (god rest his soul) and love seeing him play the hilarious drunk in the original cannot abide this film. It is stupid from the outset. The fact that Arthur is a drunk means that he is unable to commit to a full time loving relationship even though he is a romantic at heart and the most lovable drunk of all. The first film shows us that he can't find love at the end of the night because he is funny, lovable but ultimately a shameless rich playboy. Having him act drunk while MARRIED and IN LOVE with someone negates the comic preface of the first movie (lets face it there should only have been one), confuses any sense of filmic reality and makes a mockery of the fantastic genius of the original Arthur. I take my hat and anything else I can find off to the writers, producers, and director of the first movie whilst simultaneously defecating on the script and printed out name of the man who green-lighted the sequel. Arthur 2 is a stupid film with a terrible script, pace, and and and and and you should avoid it at all costs.
RIP Dudley Moore, and long live the original "Arthur", the best film ever shot in New York.
