Description

Hugh Grant (Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary) is simply brilliant in this comedy hit the critics are hailing as "Hilarious!" (Premiere). Will Lightman (Grant) is a good-looking, smooth-talking bachelor whose primary goal in life is avoiding any kind of responsibility. But when he invents an imaginary son in order to meet attractive single moms, Will gets a hilarious lesson about life from a bright, but hopelessly geeky 12-year-old named Marcus. Now, as Will struggles to teach Marcus the art of being cool, Marcus teaches Will that you're never too old to grow up. About A Boy is the irresistible comedy smash that Time Magazine says is "smart, funny and winsome."

    I annoy myself saying the words all through the film. I could watch it, then rewind it and watch it again. Brilliant

    I watched it twice and it was a bit boring and depressing I feel sorry for the little boy.
  • Nicholas Hoult ...anyone???!?

    I love this film but why is Nicholas Hoult not mentioned anywhere by iTunes?? He's since gone on to play important roles in big movies like 'A Single Man' and 'X-Men: First Class' and yet there's not a biscuit mentioned about him here. What's going on?? Is there a campaign against him or something?

    I'd forgotten how smart and insightful this movie was. Brilliant performances. Not one to watch n front of young kids unless you are relaxed about swearing.
