Review of About a Boy

About a Boy (2002)
5/10
About 30 minutes too long
4 June 2002
Decent movie that has some funny lines, but really drags in the middle. Take your wife/girlfriend and earn some brownie points, but don't expect to be bowled over. The acting is solid, Hugh Grant plays himself, as usual, but just a little more self centered than normal for him. The mother, Toni Collette, is very good. I just don't see this as anywhere near the best movies of the year. I don't think I'll even remember it next month.
