I love the book About A Boy but this is the first time I can honestly say, I liked the film better. When I read the *********** picturing Hugh Grant as the lead so when I heard it was being released and he was starring I couldn't wait to see it. I had high expectations for this film and it beat every one of them. It's touching. We watch a grown man learn to love for the first time in his life.
