October 12, 2009It's only taken me 21 years to finally watch this film. It's not very good at all but getting to watch some new (for me anyway) footage of Dudley Moore and John Gielgud felt like a treat, so I?m going to rate it higher than it deserves. So there! :o)

August 2, 2008Lightning doesn't strike twice as this sequel falls completely flat on its face. A lot of the same from the first movie, but somewhat different in tone. Even Geilgud's ghostly appearance in this movie can't save this film. But I enjoyed it.

September 9, 2007Not all that great. It tries really hard to capture the magic of the first one but really doesn't make it.

March 14, 2007Dud tries to recreate his only decent film by doing his tiresome comedy drunk schtick again, but realises John Gielgud was the only funny one in it, and he's dead. Which leaves Liza Minelli to save the day. All hands abandon ship...

August 1, 2011This has to be one of the most underated films ever made I mean look at the flixter ratings! That is just a bit harsh I must say I think that it is the best Arthur film around, the story I thought was quite good along with the acting just a really good follow up film all around, ... read more

July 30, 2008This abysmal sequel to the sometimes funny original is like the hangover after a party, as Moore and Minelli seem more interested in complainging than being funny, like a married couple that doesn't want to be married anymore. Yawn.

May 29, 2007Dudley Moore is the perfect pointless rich man with nothing better to do than get drunk. He made these movies worth watching!

April 20, 2007Okay so some of you are thinking, "Come on!". Au contraire, this movie is hillarious and witty. No questions asked one of my all time favorites. Give it a chance.

It would have been better for Warners to have left well enough alone. Full Review

Steve Crum, Video-Reviewmaster.com
Unnecessary sequel to now politically incorrect comedy of alcoholism. Great cast, however.
October 10, 2005
Chuck O'Leary, Fantastica Daily
Doesn't have as many big laughs as the classic 1981 original, but the characters are still likable enough for this to merit a passing grade.

Gregory Weinkauf, ÜberCiné
Y'know, I gotta side with the first Arthur movie, but this wasn't painful in any particular way.

Alex Sandell, Juicy Cerebellum
Bad, bad sequel to an over-hyped original.

Widgett Walls, Needcoffee.com
This film never happened. Don't ask me about it again.

Bob Bloom, Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Another unnecessary sequel.

Bob Grimm, Las Vegas Mercury
A candidate for all time worst sequel.
