MY dad is trying to think of a movie which has got me going mad.
A comedy (supposedly) about a short unattractive man (supposedly) with sandy brown hair (supposedly) who is rich and a bit of a loser....
Apparently the movie is named after the main character.
NOT: adam sandler, rob schneider, jim carrey michael j fox, will ferrel or ben stiller

I know this must all seem ridiculous. but my brother did something that my dad said reminded him of this person - but now he can't communicate who it is. can't even give me any scenes from the movie. it's annoying.

imdb much?
We thought of arthur - dad doesn't seem to know who that is - also says movie is about 3 years old - which probably means about 6 - 10.

the answer is also supposed to be ridiculously obvious - we're supposed to kick ourselves about it.
Like it's someone who comes up regularly in 21st century conversation.

Sounds like "Arthur" with Dudley Moore as the main character and Liza Minnelli as his love interest.

am not sure if it quite is authentic yet i think of it may desire to be the vanishing 1993, it starred jeff bridges, kiefer sutherland an sandra bullock. If am no longer maximum suitable u could desire to work out this action picture besides its a reliable watch.
