About a Boy (2002)

Cast: Hugh Grant (Will), Nicholas Hoult (Marcus Brewer), Toni Collette (Fiona Brewer), Rachel Weisz (Rachel), Sharon Small (Christine)
For complete cast, see IMDb's About a Boy page.

I didn't read the Nick Hornby novel about an immature man who's taught to act like an adult by a little boy, but I enjoyed the movie. I almost always enjoy Hugh Grant, Toni Collette, and Rachel Weisz in movies and About a Boy did not disappoint me. Although the idea of a childish adult meeting a child who teaches them how to act their age is far from unique, the way it is presented is definitely different.

About a Boy is funny, serious at times, and has a lot of heart. I definitely recommend renting it.
