About A Boy


This movie is such a funny movie based on the book by Nick Hornby and it makes me laugh everytime at what Will Freeman (Hugh Grant) does. Its a comedy drama whose main character is a hip Londoner in his thirties who doesnt do anything in particular. He realizes one day that all of his friends are married which leaves him all alone. With that idea stuck in his head he tries to meet a lot of women, invents an imaginary son, and starts attending single parenting meetings.


Because of all this he ends up meeting Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) who is an odd 12 year old boy. They eventually become friends and in turn Will teaches Marcus how to be a cool kid while Marcus teaches Will how to finally act like a grown-up.
\

In the end you find yourself enjoying every moment of the movie and especially the key scene where Marcus sings in front of the school. You also get to understand the problems of people who are not like yourself and who try everyday to find a reason to keep going on.

This movie was excellently played by Hugh Grant and by Nicholas Hoult who both embodied their characters and the personalities. The story was a very good one, it had its own shares of laughter and of tears. Throughout the movie you felt different emotions like fear, excitement, happiness, and sadness. It is a must watch for me.
