About a Boy

Now considered a classic of its genre, this British comedy based on Nick Hornby’s novel of the same name is a tender, bittersweet cinematic lesson on coming of age, accepting responsibility, and the need for connection, with Hugh Grant delivering one of the finest performances of his career.

Synopsis

An immature, idle bachelor who lives comfortably off his father’s royalties happens to meet a sensitive, socially isolated boy, and their relationship gradually develops into an unexpected bond that transforms them both in ways neither anticipated.
