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."

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?

About A Boy
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.

Wonderful
It's Hugh Grant at his very best, loved the film, you can never watch it too many times, and also check out the soundtrack by Badly Drawn Boy, it makes the film a completely unique comedy.

THE best film ever
Something I am often asked is what's my favorite film? And there are so many films to choose from but this is one film that I can watch over and over again and everytime it gets better. Most definatly worth 7 quid.

Great/heart-warming/heart-wrenching tale.
Basically for people with hearts.
Great storyline and definately one of Hugh Grants' better movies. He suits this role well.
2008-07-14
Brilliant!
This film is brilliant. I totally agree with the other reviewer, the BEST british film of all time, and well worth £7!
