About a Boy (8/10) Movie CLIP - I'm Really Nothing (2002) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Will (Hugh Grant) admits to Rachel (Rachel Weisz) that he misled her about having a son.

FILM DESCRIPTION:
London's most frequently eligible bachelor gets some lessons in growing up from a maladroit 12-year-old boy in this third big-screen adaptation of a Nick Hornby novel, directed and co-written by siblings Chris and Paul Weitz of American Pie fame. About a Boy concerns the parallel coming-of-age stories of the thirtysomething Will (Hugh Grant), a layabout "serial nice guy" living a posh, carefree lifestyle off his deceased father's fortune; and the preteen Marcus (Nicholas Hoult), a bright but awkward youth who's tired of his mom Fiona's (Toni Collette) depressed, boyfriend-less state. Their paths collide when Will, deciding that single mothers are the easiest romantic conquests on the dating scene, fabricates a two-year-old son and joins a group called S.P.A.T. (Single Parents Alone Together). Marcus is wise to Will's scheme, however, and through some incessant pestering and blackmail, he contrives for Will to date Fiona. Though Will doesn't hit it off immediately with either Marcus or his mother, he gradually begins to open up to the people around him -- so much so that he attracts the attention of another attractive single mom (Rachel Weisz). A U.S./U.K. co-production of Robert DeNiro's Tribeca Films and Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner's Working Title (the company responsible for the Grant-related Four Weddings and a Funeral and Bridget Jones's Diary), About a Boy was co-written by What's Eating Gilbert Grape creator Peter Hedges.

This movie is more brilliant than at first appears. When I first saw I thought that it had done a passable job of transferring the book. Now I think that it gets right to the point.
And Grant is brilliant, absolutely right in all ways. And Weisz too.

[Ad-Lo]

This is my favourite scene in the entire movie! I love the point at 1:34 when the melody of "Silent Sigh" begins. 

[lighttakesthetree]

Stripped bare! This is a brilliant scene by both actors -- Hugh Grant especially. In the Alanis Morisette song "All I Really Want", there's a lyric about "... the sound of pretenses falling, all around." So this has got to be what that would like look. It's not pretty, but it's gorgeous cinema to watch Hugh Grant & Rachel Weisz do it here.

I can't believe Hugh didn't get an Oscar nomination for this.

What made this scene so funny to me was Will is trying to be so vague about the truth by saying he is not Marcus' "natural father", but then it backfires when Rachel asks how exactly is he Marcus' supposed step-father if he is not married to his mother, nor lives with him

[shurtugal]

He walks out, so end result is she pays the check.

[uhsfilmcrew]

Anyone notice she plays as herself in “My Cousin Rachel” too?

[BunnyPupgal]

Anyone else notice that, since Will just gets up and buggers off from the restaurant mid-meal after she breaks his story, it looks like she gets to pay the entire bill as WELL as finding out that he's a liar? Wow, tough night for Rachel... Unless he's got a tab, in which case I hope she put her dinner on it.

[Jaachi_Aaron-CJ]

I think Rachel Weisz is a bit concern about making a comedy or a romance movie like Definitely Maybe since 2008.

[leifjohnson]

Did he stick her with the bill? Unforgiveable!

[BunnyPupgal]

+shurtugal Hey, you did notice too! Would have been a good idea to scroll down all comments before typing mine, probably...
