Arthur (film)/YMMV


  • Annoying Laugh: This troper can imagine plenty of characters quickly growing tired of it.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: There's a lot of Christmas references in the film, and at one point Susan remarks Arthur looks like one of Santa's elves. Guess what Dudley Moore plays in Santa Claus the Movie?
  • Hollywood Homely: Susan is played by a very pretty Jill Eikenberry. Arguably justified since most of the other characters do acknowledge this; it just so happens that Arthur has a rather unconventional taste in women (and seems to have more issues with Susan's personality than her looks).
    • Averted. Guests at the engagement party remark on how pretty Susan is. Linda confirms this: "Of course. Why would Arthur marry a dog?"
      • Subverted. Linda's tone indicates she thinks Susan is a dog.
  • Jerkass Woobie: Arthur.
  • Sequelitis: Among other things, it brought Hobson back for a few scenes as a Spirit Advisor.
  • Tear Jerker: Hobson's death. Of course, it's hard for anything to be too tearjerking in a movie this silly.
