Dudley Moore makes such a likable drunk that you can't help but feel sorry for. John Gielgud is great as his faithful, yet wonderfully derisive butler. The story shines as an adult child tries to grow up.

Funny if you don't think about how pathetic Dudley Moore's character is, but pretty sad if you do. Gielgud saves the film.

Although Gielgud -- justifiably -- gets a lot of the praise for his role in the movie, Minnelli and Moore are both incredibly charming, and it's no stretch at all to accept the story for what it is. The supporting cast are a bit of a letdown, but the script is razor-sharp at times, and it's always a pleasure to watch the three leads bounce around the screen together.

I have a soft spot for Dudley Moore, especially in Bedazzled. This however is not one of his better moments. The sequel is best left alone

Admittedly, this has some pretty clever dialog, but overall it seems to think it was a lot funnier than it actually is. Moore is pretty annoying, especially in the first ten minutes. Not horrible, but not something I'll want to see again.

Dudley Moore is great being what we think Dudley Moore should be or happened to be. Otherwise, the movie has some odd pacing and mixing funny and romance in somewhat unequal parts.

Now THIS is one HILARIOUS film. One of the rarest things in comedies nowadays, sadly, is COMEDY. Dudley Moore gives an absolutely brilliant performance as Arthur, and John Gielgud is the most lovable smartass butler. It's funny, it's emotional, and totally entertaining. One of my favorite feel-good comedies from the 80's. And 'Arthur's Theme' is the most awesome song.

This movie is hilarious and I love it. It was made back in the good ole days when drunks were silly and fun. Then Leaving Las Vegas had to go and ruin it by making them depressing, out of control, and suicidal.

Wonderful, warm and winning comedy, with an unbeatable trio of stars (a mismatched trio to be sure, but working wonderfully well together). Moore makes Arthur not only endearing, but lovable, and Gielgud is hilarious as his very proper man servant ("A little tart like that could save you a fortune in prostitutes"). Wonderful support work by Elliott as Arthur's sadistic in-law to be, and Martin as Liza's emotional father. Highly satisfying, wholly enjoyable and highly recommended.

Greasy decadent 80's aesthetic, but it's half-intelligent sometimes. I hate Dudley Moore, but Liza Minnelli is cute and some scenes were fun.

Light and fluffy romantic comedy very much of its time in the early 80's. Now it seems rather dated but it is still worth watching and is charming and sweet rather than rib-busting and contraversial. John Gielgud's plummy tones can make any moderately funny line even better, but here he is the star for me.
