“Arthur the King” is the story of an unbreakable bond forged between pro adventure racer Michael Light (Mark Wahlberg) and a scrappy street dog companion dubbed Arthur.

Note: I was invited as media to the movie screening. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.

My Review

Now that “Arthur the King” is in theaters, I hope families take a chance and see it. The films offers a feel good inspirational human experience, along with heartwarming doggie moments.

I had the chance to screen it and enjoyed the peek into Michael Light (Mark Wahlberg) struggle to achieve his goals, along with a look at what goes into being a pro adventure racer.

From training to step by step over the different courses, the film gives viewers a real experience of what Michael and his team had to face. Which included what to do with a stray dog who crosses their path.

From the first meeting, viewers can feel the bond form between Michael and Arthur the dog and how affects the team. Arthur really completes the team and becomes the focus of the film, which leaves viewers with an understanding that winning in life is more then crossing the finish line.
