Arthur 2: On the Rocks

Critics Consensus

Arthur's boozy charm curdles into a bad hangover in this unnecessary sequel.

Audience Reviews for Arthur 2: On the Rocks

  • Jul 29, 2012
    Not so bad like everybody say, Arthur 2 is very inferior from the 1981 hit. At least Dudley Moore, with luck and funny charm save this sequel.

    Lightning 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.

    Not all that great. It tries really hard to capture the magic of the first one but really doesn't make it.
    Jason S Super Reviewer

    Dud 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...
