Russell Brand done as a leading man??

Anyone still think he can carry a movie, or is he just better in a supporting role as a character actor??  Not counting HOP of course since thats animated.

Frankly i think given the right movie he could carry it. Something similar to Get him to the Greek. I believe Arthur was kind of doomed from the beginning.  Too many people loved the original.  It made over 100 mil domestic and won 2 oscars.  When I think of Dudley Moore I think of his character Arthur the loveable drunk.   By the time the movie came out I thought it may be possible that it would do what hollywood said it might.  Between 15 and 18 mil.  I should have stuck with my initial gut instinct.  When I very first saw the trailer watching a recorded show i said, wtf was that..  I usually skip through commercials so I rewinded it and watched the trailer.  MY first thoughts were, why the hell are they remaking this movie?  Why is Russell Brand doing a non R-rated movie.  And Why is Hobson a female? lol I started to buy into the hype and got a few chuckles from other trailers. 

I think this movie is a prime example that Hollywood needs to think twice before remaking every movie thats been done.  Whats next? A remake of Gone With The Wind? 

Just my two wheat penny cents.
