À propos de ce film

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.

Notes et avis

I think this film works on many levels, so not just as a comedy. it is surely one of Hugh Grant's most successful acting parts. He is witty, calculating and ruthless but ultimately aimless. His collision with real life takes him towards a happier and less lonely path.

Good altime movie. Poor Duck that bread would have killed me awesome line.

A smart, funny, entertaining comedy drama.
