Plot: In this sequel to the 1981 hit comedy Arthur, the story picks up where it left off with the bibulous millionaire hero (Dudley Moore) marrying poverty-stricken Linda Marolla (Liza Minnelli) instead of going through with a prearranged wealthy marriage. The vengeful father (Stephen Elliott) of the justifiably jilted bride begins pulling a few crooked strings, and before long, Arthur is broke. Worse still, Linda is pregnant. Will Arthur crawl back into a bottle, or will he save the day? John Gielgud makes a cameo appearance as the ghost of the family-retainer character he played in the first Arthur, while Dudley Moore's real-life wife Brogan Lane shows up in a minor role. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Arthur 2 - Best musical score
Added 8/11/2009

Arthur 2 is one of the greatest movies of all time, even better than than Arthur (the prequel). I base this judgement primarily on its wonderful and inspiring musical score. A very funny movie too. I enjoyed the scene where Arthur is being interviewed for the hardware store job - absolutely hilarious! I love the ending where Arthur gets the money back and throws a party for his family.

Cute, but old news

The original "Arthur" is a classic, but this sequel is not as iconic. Arthur 2 is cute, but not all that fuffy. Even Dudley Moore, drunk acting was too staged and us inspired. Overall, I'd recommend it if you liked the first installment, but don't expect to much.

Where's my fabricated half inch pipe?

This movie is excellent, and probably much better than any subsequent work done by Moore. My kids love it, especially his lamentation in the bar after being fired. I have to admit that I never was a big Moore fan - his work done with Peter Cook was a bit offensive, and this movie proves that humour need not offend.

Loved it!

I'm not sure what everyone is talking about. I thought that this movie was great. For the one who gave a synopsis that Arthur and Linda weren't happily married didn't watch the movie. That was not the case at all.
This movie has all the same characters including Burt Johnson, Arthurs fiance from the original's father. Burt Johnson is still continually trying to get Arthur to marry Susan. He makes it so Arthur looses his all of his money. Arthur and Linda continually try to find an place to live..Burt gets them thrown out. Arthur tries to get a job...he gets fired because of Burt Johnson. Susan confronts Linda and Linda realizes that they are not going to give up, so Linda gives up fighting for her and Arthur.
I love this movie. Sometime I think that I like it more then the original because it's a more believable story then the original. Its more "down to earth"
I would recommend this to anyone.
