Family This is based on the novel of the same name by Nick Hornby, which I first read about six months before seeing it, and enjoyed on the whole. Hugh Grant is excellent as the non-working, rather shallow but immensely likeable Will. Nicholas Hoult is his 12-year-old co-star, as the all-too-responsible Marcus with a flaky mother. Marcus is decidedly uncool and gets bullied at school, and Will comes into his life after inventing a two-year-old son, a ploy that allows him to meet single mothers. As with the book, this is an interesting mixture of pathos and humour. Near tragedy combines with some very amusing moments. Towards the end, the film did rather veer away from the plot of the book (unless I have entirely forgotten some parts of it, which is entirely possible) but it works well. More thought-provoking than a lot of modern films of this genre, and very well done. I even watched the extras: the deleted scenes gave more that was in the book, but I can see they were not necessary for the film, and the 'making of' was reasonably interesting. Longer review here: https://suesdvdreviews.blogspot.com/2019/09/about-boy-hugh-grant-and-nicholas-ho... Aus der Amazon.de-Redaktion About a Boy, eine weitere großartige Adaption eines populären Nick-Hornby-Romans (nach High Fidelity), war in England ein absoluter Kassenerfolg bevor er sich daran machte, den Rest der Welt zu bezaubern. Während High Fidelity seinen Londoner Charme nach Chicago verlegte, behielt diese unwiderstehliche Komödie in den Händen der amerikanischen Regisseure Chris und Paul Weitz ihren britischen Stammbaum. Darüber hinaus ist Hugh Grant die perfekte Besetzung für Will, einen mit sich selbst beschäftigten Rumtreiber, der seine Chancen in der Liebe damit zu verbessern versucht, dass er sich auf verzweifelte allein erziehende Mütter spezialisiert. Seine zynische Strategie geht allerdings ins Auge, als er den schwierigen Sohn (Nicholas Hoult) einer selbstmordgefährdeten Mutter (Toni Collette) engagiert, sich als seinen eigenen Sohn auszugeben, um seiner jüngsten allein erziehenden Auserkorenen (Rachel Weisz) seine elterlichen Fähigkeiten zu beweisen. Der Junge hat es diesem Schurken nämlich bald angetan, und der Film, der leicht zu einem zuckrigen Tränendrüsendrücker hätte werden können, entwickelt sich zu einem subtilen, nicht selten urkomischen Porträt familiärer Schrullen und Selbstüberschätzung. About a Boy ist von der ersten bis zur letzten Minute ein echter Leckerbissen. --Jeff Shannon nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Will is a good-looking, smooth-talking bachelor whose primary goal in life is to avoid any kind of responsibility. So he decides to invent an imaginary son in order to meet attractive single moms. Will gets a lesson about life from a bright but hopelessly geeky 12-year-old named Marcus. Now, as Will struggles to teach Marcus the art of being cool, Marcus teaches Will that you are never too cool to grow up. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
