About a Boy

About a Boy (2002) is a comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Hugh Grant plays Will Freeman — nearly forty, financially comfortable off a single Christmas song his father wrote, and genuinely committed to having zero obligations. Directed by Paul and Chris Weitz from Nick Hornby's novel.

To meet single mothers, Will invents a fictional son. That plan drops a real twelve-year-old named Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) into his life — awkward, literal-minded, and impossible to shake off. Marcus needs a reliable adult. Will has spent decades making sure he never becomes one. Rachel Weisz and Toni Collette round out the main cast. Watch About a Boy (2002) online on iFILM.
