About a Boy

I love this film. I loved the book too.
I read the book first, because i love Nick Hornby and i loved the book, i saw that the movie got pretty good reviews so i decided to see. I went to see it expecting the worse (every time a book is turned into a film i usually don´t like film) but i loved the film, they did change the ending, but its something that i could have seen in the book and i loved that i remembered most of the dialogue.
Hugh Grant as always is great and Nicholas Hoult is fantastic as Marcus.

The film and book is about Marcus a 12-year old boy who is an outsider, feels lonely, is somewhat forced into taking certain responsibilities and takes life too seriously for being 12, Will is 30-something year old who has no responsibilities, doesn't take life too seriously and is searching without really wanting to find out what is the meaning of his life is, and the relationship and bond they both form and how the change each others life.

The film is funny, witty and intelligent. I 100% recommend this film its in my top 10 of all time, i also recommend reading the book.
