About a Boy is a 2002 English film directed by brothers Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz, based on the book of the same name by Nick Hornby. The film stars Nicholas Hoult as Marcus, Hugh Grant as Will, Toni Collette as Fiona and Rachel Weisz as Rachel. An interesting aspect of the movie is the use of double voice-over narration, where, at crucial moments in the plot, the audience can follow Will's as well as Marcus's thoughts.
The movie soundtrack, also titled About A Boy was released in 2002. Unusually, the entire soundtrack was composed by one singer/songwriter, Badly Drawn Boy.
