Movie Review: Man and dog and adventure racing in ‘Arthur the King’
Associated PressThe new Mark Wahlberg movie “ Arthur the King ” is the cinematic version of an inspirational classroom poster. Cut to three years later and he’s in his idea of suburban purgatory, working for his dad and living in an extraordinarily nice house with his beautiful, former adventure racer wife and their young daughter. It’s also based on a true story, that of racer Mikael Lindnord, and the book he wrote about the grueling endeavor “Arthur: The Dog Who Crossed the Jungle to Find a Home.” Did I mention there was a dog involved? Well, there is, but the main novelty of “Arthur the King” doesn’t even fully integrate into the story until almost 45 minutes in. Michael’s wife Helena is a “phone wife,” waiting at home and always in a full face of makeup with her blond mermaid locks cascading down her shoulders whether she’s post-workout or going to sleep.
