What the box says:  Hugh Grant (Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary) is simply brilliant in this comedy hit the critics are hailing as "Hilarious!" (Premiere)  Will Lightman (Grant) is a good-looking, smooth-talking bachelor whose primary goal in life is avoiding any kind of responsibility.  But when he invents an imaginary son in order to meet attractive single moms, Will gets a hilarious 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're never too old to grow up.  About A Boy is the irresistible comedy smash that Richard Schickel of Time Magazine says is "smart, funny and winsome."
