"Growing up has nothing to do with age."

About a Boy (2002)
Directed by Chris Weitz & Paul Weitz, rated PG-13, 101 minutes

About a Boy is charming and satisfying romantic comedy about a ladies' man that lives off inheritance money who starts dating single moms because they're easy, and ends up accidentally befriending a young boy. Hugh Grant is surprisingly good in what may be a part tailor made for him, as he captures everything about the role and manages to be charming despite his character. However, the film succeeds because of some terrific and really funny writing. About a Boy is not the most original film around, but the characters are so likable and the dialogue is so well written, that you'll find yourself lost in the film. You'll like it if: You like romantic comedies, movies with kids High Fidelity, Ghost World or Millions.
