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.
