About A Boy (7.3/10)

Another Hugh Grant Drama from 2002, what do you know. I never knew why he was so famous but I get it now. This was an odd concept for a movie and I thought the storyline flopped a bit. Still a solid movie, not the best acting I think either. "A comedy-drama starring Hugh Grant as Will, a rich, child-free and irresponsible Londoner in his thirties who, in search of available women, invents an imaginary son and starts attending single parent meetings. As a result of one of his liaisons, he meets Marcus, an odd 12-year-old boy with problems at school. Gradually, Will and Marcus become friends, and as Will teaches Marcus how to be a cool kid, Marcus helps Will to finally grow up."
