”About a Boy” C14
Maria Lipiarska kl. IIa — Gimnazjum w Zabierzowie
 

This is the best comedy I have ever seen. It is an American – British comedy from 2002 directed by the brothers Paul and Chris Weltz and stars: Hugh Grant, Toni Collette and Nicholas Hoult.

The title role is played by Hugh Grant who appears as 38-year-old Will Freeman. He is a typical playboy who hasn’t got a job, but is rich, cynical and lazy. He hasn’t got a family. He has lots of girlfriends, but he can’t live in a close relationship with anyone. One day he meets Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), a 12-year-old boy who has problems at school and they become friends. Will teaches Marcus how to be a cool kid, and Marcus helps Will grow up. Pretty but sad Fiona (Toni Collette) is Marcus’s mother, and she tries to commit suicide.

The film was nominated for a lot of awards. I found it really interesting, intelligent and funny. It also teaches us that everyone can change for the better.
