Résumés(1)
Arthur Bach est un homme qui s’est toujours fié à deux choses: sa fortune quasi-illimitée et le bon sens terre à terre de sa nourrice de toujours pour faire face à toutes les situations. Il doit cette fois affronter son plus grand défi, choisir entre un mariage arrangé qui lui permettrait de continuer à vivre luxueusement, et un avenir incertain avec ce que l’argent ne peut pas acheter —Naomi, la seule femme qu’il ait jamais aimée. Avec l’imagination de Naomi et les quelques conseils peu orthodoxes de Hobson, Arthur prendra le plus grand risque de sa vie et apprendra enfin ce que veut dire être un homme.

A surprisingly good comedy. I was (justifiably, I think, given the films I've seen with him so far) scared by Russell Brand, but unnecessarily so. I liked the verbal shootouts between Arthur and the sarcastic nanny played by Helen Mirren the most, but there were many more funny moments. Thank God for them. I can safely say that I was entertained from beginning to end. The end was not surprising, but what do you expect from a tale about reforming a debauched alcoholic billionaire?

I don't like Russell Brand at all, but he was the perfect choice to play the simple-minded Arthur. I also liked the female cast featuring Helen Mirren and Jennifer Garner. As far as the story is concerned, it is not an original gem, but on the other hand, the plot moved along, I was not bored, so just a clean average that does not offend. In short, an unpretentious and relaxing film that was well suited for a long bus journey.
