Pulled by a compulsion he can't explain, Wallace, aka Arthur Newman, invites her to join him on his way to starting anew in Terre Haute, Indiana, where he hopes a new job as a golf pro awaits. On the road, they uncover secrets about each other -- and themselves -- and must face one essential truth: You can't run away from yourself. It's admittedly a sometimes poignant, often interesting, and somewhat poetic movie.
Firth is almost always reason enough, but even he can't escape the monotony that dismantles this film. It begins promisingly enough, with the setup unspooling in an efficient and compelling fashion.
But Arthur Newman loses its way soon after, wasting the strong cast. The story is a gold mine of possibilities, but Arthur Newman takes too many detours, all leading to a place that isn't so new after all. Families can talk about Arthur Newman 's messages.

However, it stopped being a hospital in Quotes Arthur Newman : Family just crushes your heart, doesn't it? User reviews 42 Review. Top review. Failed golfer Wallace Avery Colin Firth is running away from his life. He fakes his own death and drives under false ID Arthur Newman cross-country to start a new golf pro job.
He finds a woman struggling on a patio chair at his motel. He takes her to the hospital suffering from a cough medicine overdose. Her name is actually Charlotte. As the two of them get closer, they are pursued by his girlfriend Mina Crawley Anne Heche and his estranged son Kevin. The mystery of their pasts is compelling for a little while but at some point, it has to be compelling on its own.
Their lives aren't that interesting. The two great leads bring something into these damaged roles but it's barely compelling. I question their reasonableness but their characters are not that reasonable. The less compelling part is the B-story with the girlfriend and son. I somewhat care about the leads but not so much with the supporting characters.
