- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Arthur' is one of those rare contemporary entertainments that can be used to contradict people who habitually complain, "They don't make 'em like they used to!" This time they have."
-
"'Arthur' is a sparkling entertainment that attempts, with a large measure of success, to resurrect the amusingly artificial conventions of 1930's screwball romantic comedies."
-
"'Arthur' is not the best comedy of the season, which is a pity because it has the best comic team"
-
"'Arthur' is a terrifically engaging, high-spirited screwball comedy"
-
"Overrated one-joke comedy."
