nella propria, spaziosissima abitazione, quando torna a casa la sera e' accolto dal fedele e amatissimo albert, uomo tuttofare sempre prodigo di consigli e che quasi di nascosto fa ad un certo momento entrare in casa la nipote barbara. About a Boy is in the best traditions of British comedy: enlighteninīatman & Robin joel schumacher B0041KW5X0 nella futuribile citta' di gotham city, batman, affiancato da un robin ormai cresciuto e piu' indipendente, e' sempre pronto ad accorrere laddove si presentano situazioni di pericolo. Badly Drawn Boy's soundtrack will delight those who enjoy his brand of reconstituted 1970s Dylan the title track has a wistful charm and there's a gem of an instrumental in the "Countdown" sequence. Toni Colette is a dead-ringer for the well-meaning but ineffectual hippie mother Fiona, while Rachel Weisz gives her best screen performance to date as the attractive and vulnerable Rachel, with whom Will comes of age emotionally. As Marcus, Hoult is convincingly self-dependent, but could have been even more self-absorbed. Grant clips his hair as well as his vowels for a believable and ultimately sympathetic Will-by far his best performance since Four Weddings and a Funeral.
The film's wit and amusement comes down to deft and understated directing from Chris and Paul Weitz, and a snappily crafted screenplay from Peter Hedges and the Weitz brothers. Yet there's a wider significance to all this in the guise of human stereotypes-how we fall into them and how we can try to get out of them. How they arrive at this complementary awareness is the intriguing subject matter of the film, involving well-meaning single mothers, difficult adolescents and helpless older adults. Will finds that being yourself is of little consequence without a defining human context, while Marcus finds that pleasing others counts for little without a degree of self-confidence. The "coming together" of idle playboy Will (Hugh Grant) and put-upon loner Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) is a revealing tale of self-understanding and role reversal. The film version of Nick Hornby's novel About a Boy takes a deeper though no less entertaining approach than the easy laughs of Fever Pitch and High Fidelity.
