There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Freeman
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

A normal chick flick involves a guy falling in love with a girl. It ends with them living happily ever after. In this movie, the protagonist isn't interested in having a relationship. But sometimes, life takes unexpected turns. He befriends a boy who teaches him a lot about life. This movie is hilarious and the chemistry between Hugh Jackman and the boy is brilliant. Definitely worth a watch!

About a Boy finds an excellent balance between being a lighthearted comedy and a thought-provoking drama. It starts out looking like a run-of-the-mill rom-com, but it soon reveals itself as a captivating story with complex characters. Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette work very well together. This is a great movie.

We can say anything about Hugh Grant, but not that he is bad at his job. I believe this is his most mature, perhaps the best performance of his career. We see something that we did not have a chance to see before in Grant's career. We are able feel Will's progress from a completely hopeless eternal child, to the man who finally decided to participate in the life around him. Markus is a compelling portrait of all of us at some point in life, when we were so lost that, not only we did not have the answers, but we were not even aware of the issues. The movie is spicy, but not because they play on humor but because they are extremely honest about the people and their weaknesses.

About a Boy is a 2002 comedy-drama film co-written and directed by brothers Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz. It is an adaptation of the 1998 novel of the same name by Nick Hornby. The film stars Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult, Toni Collette, and Rachel Weisz. The film at times uses double voice-over narration, when the audience hears both Will's and Marcus's thoughts. Will is a 36-year-old underachiever with a fear of commitment that leads him to seek out relationships with single mothers, on the assumption that they are more desperate. However, plans go awry when he befriends with Marcus, the weird 12-year-old son of his latest target. Soon, Will and Marcus become friends, and as Will teaches Marcus how to be a cool kid, Marcus helps Will finally to grow up.
