About a Boy
i didn’t know how stacked the cast was gonna be in this…a lot of good actors here! also nice to see young nicholas hoult. he was so tiny. awww :) i did like this more than i thought. like hugh grant’s character starts off as being kind of an ass but he gets better and that sort of character growth is pretty charming. and it is pretty funny at times.

“No man is an island.” Very 00s. Charming, but a bit tedious. Something something Hugh Grant please be my daddy.
About a Boy
“𝘐’𝘷𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘢 𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘳. 𝘖𝘳 𝘮𝘢𝘺𝘣𝘦 𝘩𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘮𝘦.” Why do we not have comedies like this anymore? The kind where when the melodrama occurs, you forget that it's a comedy altogether and you become so infatuated with a cast of characters that make you feel like it's Christmas morning? It's the middle of July. Sweeps of humidity, heavy rain. My reality could not be further from this. A young Nicholas Holt is charming, you see all the potential in his delivery. Grant is exceptional, born from this role. It's the specialness one finds in unlikely situations and relationships to find some part of yourself you didn't know you could tap into. A film that doesn't let up with one-liners that never fall flat and move with grace in a brilliant melody. “𝘚𝘰, 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘥𝘰 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰?” “𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘐’𝘮 𝘴𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘢 𝘣𝘪𝘵 𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵.” “𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵?” “𝘞𝘦𝘭𝘭, 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘣𝘴𝘰𝘭𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵, 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧.”
