Reviews for Arthur 2: On the Rocks
Unnecessary sequel to now politically incorrect comedy of alcoholism. Great cast, however.
Doesn't have as many big laughs as the classic 1981 original, but the characters are still likable enough for this to merit a passing grade.
Y'know, I gotta side with the first Arthur movie, but this wasn't painful in any particular way.
