About this movie

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." 2008 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.

Great complexity shown simply if the average Single Fathers that are having a free pass only to realize the best thing they ever have done is have a child. Just need someone to expect them to be a man in most cases. Hugh Grant has incredible knack for his presence when he is being filmed.
