Review of About a Boy

This movie is about a boy named Marcus who is trying to make his mother happy even if that means he will be made fun of at school. He needs a older figure in his life that will teach him that he needs to live his only life and make himself happy. This is when Will comes into his life, Will needs someone to give his life meaning. Will sort of becomes Marcus's father figure by teaching him about girls and what is "cool". Marcus becomes Wills child of sorts and shows him that hes a grown up. The two become very close over the entire movie and they both end up helping each other with their problems to become better people as a whole.
