The story revolves around an irresponsible charmer Arthur Russell Brand who has always relied on two things to get by: his limitless fortune and his nanny and best friend Hobson Helen Mirren,to keep him out of trouble.

Kind-hearted,fun-loving and utterly without purpose,Arthur spends every day in the pursuit of heedless amusement. But when his unpredictable public image threatens the reputation of his family foundation,he is given an ultimatum: marry the beautiful but decidedly unlovable Susan Johns Jennifer Garner,an ambitious corporate executive who can keep him in line,or say goodbye to his billion-dollar inheritance. Its a deal Arthur would be inclined to take if he hadnt just fallen for Naomi Greta Gerwig,a New York City tour guide. The independent Naomi sees Arthur not only for who he is,but for who he could be,and finally gives him a reason to take charge of his life.

The buzz

Debutant director Jason Winers Arthur is a fresh new look at a classic story and a remake of the 1980s film of the same name.

Russell Brand had to fill some big shoes reinventing the role of lovable billionaire Arthur Bach,earlier played by Dudley Moore
