About a Boy (6/10) Movie CLIP - A Crap Christmas (2002) HD

CLIP DESCRIPTION:
Will (Hugh Grant) spends an awkward Christmas with Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) and Fiona (Toni Collette), and it gets only more awkward when Suzie (Victoria Smurfit) shows up.

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.

'Sheikh Ya'as? Is he Moroccan?' is an absolutely genius line.

[myfriendisaac]

2:17 “Are you a professional Santa? How lovely?” -She is a gem 🤣💯🎄

[zammmerjammer]

This movie is a million times better than "Love, Actually." I genuinely have no idea why THAT terrible cheesy mess has somehow become a "Christmas classic" instead of this actually sweet, funny, heart-warming movie.

[NicSarah]

are you a professional santa?
how lovely

[theplumpchicken]

I like how he shakes the wrapped socks, but not the wrapped tambourine (which would obviously give the present away) 😂

[Bairdy]

Every time I hear the words "that's ok" I hear the dad repeat it in my head 😅

[Silvercentipede]

When you sing, you bring sunshine and happiness into my heart

[helenkeller]

I love the grandmother's line later on: "Are we having duck? Delicious!"

[lukedaley]

Can’t believe this movie came out twenty years ago. Used to love watching it with my parents when I was younger.

[killbot]

It would be nice to have a son who isn't spoilt and appreciates gifts from loved

Now let's all think for a second: Take Nicholas Hoult and Daniel Radcliffe in 2001, switch them, put a scar and glasses on Nicholas Hoult. He's the only other person I'd have wanted to play Harry Potter if Dan didn't get the role.

[zarakhan]

This film is one of my favourite Hugh Grants's film.

[rooty]

I've been rewatching this movie for over 20 years and I only just noticed the CD player is on the table the entire scene, before he even opens it

[niamyers]

Evil grandma from Friday night dinner😂

[gorfsixtyfour]

You could see Toni legit cracking up when she said “are you a professional Santa? How lovely”

[user_uif_ghg_wer_das]

0:42 Like the expressions of his dad and the woman.

[shurtugal]

remember when we actually used CD players?

[ironfuriesrealm]

I just rented this movie from the library it's a good movie

[blvckdoll]

Lol marcus tries so hard. He gave his ass a sibgle parents handbook wtf. So cute he really wants his mom to have a boyfriend.

[ColinHadaway]

I always think, "What a lucky boy". Every time I'm at any gift-giving event.
