Arthur: Sneak Peek

Irresponsible charmer Arthur Bach (Russell Brand) has always relied on two things to get by. First is his limitless fortune and second, the good sense of his lifelong nanny, Hobson (Helen Mirren), to keep him out of trouble. Now Arthur faces his biggest challenge - choosing between an arranged marriage that will ensure his lavish lifestyle or an uncertain future with the one thing money can’t buy - true love with a girl named Naomi (Greta Gerwig). With Naomi’s inspiration and some unconventional help from Hobson, Arthur will take the most expensive risk of his life and finally learn what it means to become a man, in this re-imagining of the classic romantic comedy.
