“Remake” del film de 1981 que protagonizara Dudley Moore, ahora Russell Brand nos presenta su nueva versión del hijo de una familia rica que no hace nada más que divertirse y mantenerse siempre alcoholizado.
Con la misma línea argumental de ese malcriado niño-hombre excéntrico, que no mejora el original, pero al menos, no se contrapone a la anterior.
Quizás no logra ser más divertida, pero sí bastante más “delirante” y “loca”.
En algún momento la película parece cansar, pero dado que queremos ver el final y no perdernos nada, la seguimos viendo.
Directed by Jason Winer
Based on “Arthur “ written by Steve Gordon
