Maksim S Nov 12 About a Boy is a surprisingly sharp and heartfelt comedy that balances wit with genuine emotional depth. Hugh Grant delivers one of his most charming performances as Will, a self-absorbed bachelor whose life is turned upside down when he forms an unlikely friendship with Marcus, a socially awkward 12-year-old brilliantly played by Nicholas Hoult. The film cleverly explores themes of loneliness, emotional growth, and the unconventional ways people connect, avoiding the clichés of standard romantic comedies. Its humor is smart without ever feeling forced, and the dynamic between Will and Marcus is both hilarious and touching, grounding the story in authentic human emotion. With a thoughtful script, strong performances, and a perfect balance of humor and heart, About a Boy remains a quietly brilliant, intelligent film that resonates long after the final scene—a 4.5-star modern classic in its own right.

See more Mikey B May 2 Hugh Grant is at his Hugh Grant-iest in this smart and funny romantic comedy. The real stars though are Nicholas Hoult as the boy Grant claims as his own and Rachel Weisz as the woman who stirs Hugh Grants character. I give it a 7. A very good refreshing comedy. See more John A @ExcessMale Apr 29 A very British dramedy. First act (or half) is obviously more amusing, funny and memorable than the soapy Disney Channel-esque finale that was serviceable enough in the long run.

It showed Hugh in a whole different light as an actor, also the acting chops of his co stars, just look at Nicholas Hoult, the boy, now and of course our beloved Toni Collette. The film, is touching, humorous and totally entertaining. See more Read all reviews
