Will Freeman is a good-looking, smooth-talking bachelor whose primary goal in life is avoiding any kind of responsibility. But when he invents an imaginary son in order to meet attractive single moms, Will gets a hilarious lesson about life from a bright, but hopelessly geeky 12-year-old named Marcus. Now, as Will struggles to teach Marcus the art of being cool, Marcus teaches Will that you're never too old to grow up.
Editor's Verdict
"The analysis of 'About a Boy' indicates a near-total absence of Christmas elements. The plot centers around Will teaching Marcus life lessons over a period of time, with no indication that the setting, plot mechanics, iconography, or resolution are tied to the Christmas season. It is a coming-of-age dramedy."
