"First viewing - March 21st HBO Max It says something for the film that during the opening stretch I liked Arthur about as much as everyone around him seems to, but by the end I'd warmed up to him quite a bit. The arc between him & Hobson is the best reason to watch this, followed by the chemistry between Arthur & Linda. Linda's dad had some amusing moments too. The ending could've been better though & knocked it down a bit for me. Overall it was fine, worth a look but nothing I'd need to watch "
