About A Boy (DVD)

About A Boy (DVD)

The film version of Nick Hornby's novel 'About a Boy' takes a deeper though no less entertaining approach than the easy laughs of Fever Pitch and High Fidelity. The coming together of idle playboy Will (Hugh Grant) and put-upon loner Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) is a revealing tale of self-understanding and role reversal. Will finds that being yourself is of little consequence without a defining human context, while Marcus finds that pleasing others counts for little without a degree of self-confidence.

Extras include commentary from Chris Weitz, a making of documentary, deleted scenes with directors' commentary, and Badly Drawn Boy music videos and interview.

About A Boy (Book)

About A Boy (Book)

Will Lightman is a Peter Pan for the 1990s. At 36, the terminally hip North Londoner is unmarried, hyper-concerned with his coolness quotient and blithely living off his father's novelty song royalties. Will sees himself as entirely lacking in hidden depths - and he's proud of it!

What interferes with Will's career arc, of course, is reality - in the shape of a 12-year-old boy who is in many ways his polar opposite. For Marcus, cool isn't even a possibility, let alone an issue.

About A Boy (Audio)

About A Boy is the follow up to Badly Drawn Boy's debut album The Hour Of Bewilderbeast, which was released in 2000, and is also the soundtrack to the film adaption of Nick Hornby's book of the same name. Resolutely an indie album with pop elements, much the same as his debut, full of acoustic guitars, samples and brass accompaniment.
