(comedy, drama)
Will Freeman is a hip Londoner who one day realizes that his friends are all involved with the responsibilities of married life and that leaves him alone in the cold. Passing himself as a single father, he starts to meet a string of single mums, confident in his ability to leave them behind when they start to ask for a commitment. But Will's hope of a continued bachelorhood is interrupted when he meets 12-year old Marcus, in many ways his complete opposite.

As far as Will Freeman (Grant) is concerned, he has the perfect life; he

inheritance. On the surface, at least, he is happy. Admittedly,
however, he is the epitome of very shallow "," reflecting a

But in recent times, their relations have become a bit `sticky '. Women are

relationship in which it can flex its superficiality again, with a woman who
will give everything and demand nothing in return.
fortuitous circumstances to provide only what he is looking;
fortuitous, however, in a manner not realize, as it leads to a
relationship through which encounters a young man, Marcus (Nicholas Hoult
). And it is a meeting that is destined to have a huge impact on
his life, as Marcus becomes the catalyst that changes everything
perspective. For the first time, Will begins to question who he is and
what you're doing - or not - with his life.
Telling this story (adapted for the screen by Peter Hedges and
Weitz brothers, the novel by Nick Hornby) presents a challenge to the filmmakers
, in the sense that nothing really new, the history of film
is full of stories of individual epiphanies, many in the same line as
this (recently, `The Kid ', with Bruce Willis, for example). Therefore, a new
approach and presentation, including the type of actions that could
extract their players, is essential for this film to reach any
distinction. What it does, and very well. And, moreover,
success on all fronts. The screenplay is intelligent, and the characters - and especially
Marcus' mother, Fiona (Toni Collette) - are convincing
well developed. With Will, there is no sudden jump in that becomes
by the end of the movie, but comes across a gradual recognition and realization
that he is, after first establishing a point starting
that the character can grow. The same is true for Fiona. There are no detours and
set of backs that - as in real life - to prevent a direct route from point A to point B
, and create the proverbial sticky wickets along the way. Weitz and Weitz
a good pace, and most importantly, give the film its management
some real heart without falling into any melodramatic, maudlin sentimentality.
By contrast, express feelings and situations that are real and credible,
and presented in such a way that ensures the audience at any number of elements
those who can really relate.
As Will, Hugh Grant certainly gives his best performance ever.
In some respects, is similar to Grant has created other characters (mostly

Never before achieved, and without a doubt, this is the most
three-dimensional character fully developed yet. Grant has a natural charm
and a charismatic screen presence, but its presentation is often dyed
a bit of pretentiousness that is completely absent here. The

performance, which manages praise for avoiding the traps

Some credit must go to its directors, of course, but Hoult
which makes it particularly credible in the way they responded, for example,

be represented on the screen (rather introspective its response to the taunts of his classmates

). And in their scenes together, and Grant Hoult strike a chord
reality that finally ensures the overall success of this film
.
The supporting cast includes Rachel Weisz (Rachel), Elizabeth Brook (Angie),
Sharon Small (Christine), Victoria Smurfit (Suzie) and Nat Gastiain Tena
(Ellie) . Entertaining and insightful, "About a Boy 'gives a real
new perspective to an item of the human condition that has been
explored before, but rarely in the most effective way. The Weitz Brothers
make the theme of his film accessible to a wider audience, and in a manner that is
attractive and successful. This film will be a pleasant surprise for many who see it
, in the sense that it offers a lot more than most
wait. And that's the magic of cinema. 9 / 10.
