Summary: Very good
Review: Another wonderful adaptation of a great Nick Hornby story. It's entertaining and does justice to the novel. The acting is outstanding, especially Hugh Grant and the boy who plays Marcus. I rarely ever like a movie adaptation of a book but as in High Fidelity, I think this movie does an outstanding job of adapting to the big screen. I highly recommend it.

Summary: While watching this movie i went outside and had a wait
Review: I cannot really remember when I watched that movie and that's actually good. I even don't remember anything that happened in it, because i left the room after about 10 minutes to have a wait outside. That was much more fun. :-)
But it always seemed to be a great movie --- I once heard something like that...
Okay,... so... well... the first 10 minutes were nearly amazing, charming and so on.And now, the end is near 'coz there is nothing more to say ! To take it serious, I must say, that this movie is very common. It deals with every-day life and its problems. There was nothing new to experience in it.
The main characters are very well interpreted by their actors, but they also cannot make it an above-average movie.

Summary: About a Boy
Review: If you are looking for fine script-writing, directing and acting, this is it. What you can find is a story that is so different from the ususal American standard plots, and it is refreshing. The performances are superb, too. Keep an eye on the boy's natural acting ability - he almost out-shines Grant who is also superb. If Hollywood movies are make-believe, this film stands out to reveal the facts of life.

Summary: Very funny movie
Review: This must be one of Hugh Grant's best work in his career! Besides that, this movie has many funny moments, but yet can be very touching/relating. Most other movies I see that are about a thirty-something year old guy without a job or a steady girlfriend don't fit the storyline. "About a Boy" does. And it adds unique eyecatching moments that signify the movie.

Summary: Hugh Grant makes this one better than it is
Review: Although this really isn't one of the genres I like to watch, About a Boy turned out to be a very uplifting and funny movie that was worth my time watching it. But it probably would've been just another average romantic comedy if it had not have been for Hugh Grant's presence. Grant has always been in these kind of movies and always does a good job with what he's given, regardless if it's actually a good movie or not. But, luckily, About a Boy is one of Grant's better films, more for the comedy than anything else. The only real flaw about the movie is that Hugh Grant's character is a little too annoying. Sure, I know that he's supposed to be a little unlikeable, but I think they went a little too far. Oh well, it doesn't hurt the film too much. BOTTOM LINE: Watch this movie if you like Hugh Grant or if you want to see a light-hearted comedy. Very, very funny. (4 stars out of 5)

Summary: Don't Miss This One!
Review: About A Boy is a very realistic movie with a strong tug on the heartstrings. Hugh Grant plays a believable slightly slimy single guy who just skates through life not caring about much else besides his material possessions and an occasional roll in the hay. Not having to work hard at anything in his entire life, he devises a plan to meet needy single mothers at a single parents group. His plan takes an unexpected turn when he unintentionally befriends a misfit 12-year-old boy who is looking for a new husband for his depressed mother. This has a lot of humor along with the serious theme. I feel it is realistic because it shows life and people are not always perfect, things don't always work out the way you plan and life as a child is not always happy. I would recommend this movie highly to own, it's a keeper. The PG-13 rating is appropriate for some upsetting moments.

Summary: Wodehouse revisited... or the Remains of Bertie.
Review: I saw this film yesterday (en famille...), OK, good family entertainement, and far less superficial that "Notting Hill" & "Four Weddings & a Funeral".
Mainly a vehicle for Grant's performance (quite subdued and brilliant), but in some scenes I thought I was watching Hugh Laurie... Let's explain, I must admit I haven't read the original book, BUT (and it's a big but...) the "solo" bachelor(Iddle rich) reminds me too much of an actualized/politically corrected Wooster, but when the plot revolves around the so tipically british tabu of having to confront an embarrasing performance in front of a potentially "hostile" audience... Well I guess Mr. Hornby&Script writers must have put Wodehouse in the credits...
That's all, so much DEJA VU...
Anyway someone has already said that nowadays what isn't a COPY is PLAGIUM...
All this rambling about Wodehouse influence (AN AWFUL LOT!) does'nt count as a criticism because I am a huge fan of his work, but really a pity there is'nt much originality on the story.
Recommended. (But still prefer "Bridget Jone's Diary").

Summary: Boring
Review: This would be the top movie i wasted my money on. I saw no point to the story other than the boy gaining a friend. I think it was a waste of money. I don't dislike many movies but I believe this has made the top of my list. I wouldn't recommend anyone wasting their money on this.

Summary: About a Boy
Review: About a Boy is hilarious British humor!
Not a sappy romantic comedy, more like a real-life commentary ~ on life. The "boy" sums it up when he says at the end, "Two is not enough, you've got to have backups."
