Charming British comedy
I usually enjoy watching these types of heart-warming British comedies, and About a Boy is certainly no exception. This one has a lot more heart than some other comedies I've seen over the years, and the great cast certainly help the film majorly.

The issue with this actor is that he has always been quite vocal about the fact that he finds the acting business actually rather tedious and I’m afraid it shows in his work.

35 From 2: My Favorite Films From 2002 (35 movies items)"For those of you who haven't seen this movie, you can probably figure out what the plot is about just by the title. Actually, when you really think about it, the title of the flick sorta defeats the whole purpose of these description boxes. Anyways, besides being about a boy, there's also enough of the uber-gorgeous Rachel Weisz in the film to help qualify it as one of my favorites of '02. "
