"Hugh Fidelity" (Worth A Look)

After spending the past few weeks with Scorpion Kings, Spider-Men and Jedi Knights, I was eagerly anticipating a low-key “people” movie; one in which people sat around and talked, laughed and argued without anyone brandishing a laser sword or having the set explode all over the place. The powers that be at Universal Studios realize the importance of creative ‘counter-programming’ and have opted to release About a Boy up against the juggernaut that is Star Wars Episode 2. Creative scheduling will only go so far, though, and a lot depends on how good the movie actually is.Fortunately for movie fans who like to mix a little good-natured and emotional cinematic roughage in with their big-budget popcorn flicks, About a Boy is a winning little comedy. Based on the novel by Nick Hornby (High Fidelity) and directed with considerably more style than you’d expect by Chris & Paul Weitz (American Pie), About a Boy tells the story of an egocentric bachelor who gets his heart warmed by an eccentric young boy. Before you disregard About a Boy as a push-button or manipulative “chick-flick”, you should know that it’s actually a sincerely heartfelt movie that’s also very funny very often.Will Freeman likes to refer to himself as an “island”, the exception to the long-understood rule that no man truly is one. Though he has a few casual friends and a not-altogether distasteful personality, Will is just content to lounge about in his apartment, watching television and living off the residuals of his late father’s now-famous Christmas carol. Will commits to a few minor romantic dalliances, but never wants to share any part of himself long enough to acquire an actual girlfriend.After realizing how many single mothers are available in London, Will devises an unseemly plan to find a few partners by pretending to be a single Dad and frequenting a local support group. This is, of course, a rather despicable thing to lie about, but his plan ultimately does more harm than good; through a series of entertaining mishaps, Will forms a reluctant friendship with an oddball adolescent named Marcus.Marcus suffers from having a terminally depressed mother and very few friends at school while Will continues his life of prideful isolation, but the two misfits slowly help each other to learn a bit about the importance of having a few reliable friends. Things get fairly emotional and even quite touching as the movie goes on, but About a Boy manages to avoid ever falling into the sap trap, and it’s full of characters you’ll start to love.Hugh Grant delivers one of his best performances yet, and it’s a welcome departure from the stammering Everyman role that he’s grown to master. It’s a testament to Grant’s multi-faceted performance that the audience continually cares about Will, despite the fact that he’s basically a selfish and manipulative lout. Grant has a lot of great support in actresses Toni Collette, who plays Marcus’ emotionally unbalanced mother, and Rachel Weisz, playing the woman who may just melt Will’s overprotected heart. Lesser-known actress Victoria Smurfit also chimes in with a strong turn as one of Will’s dismissed flames-turned-unlikely friend. Newcomer Nicholas Hoult delivers a totally enjoyable performance as the affably off-center Marcus. With a lesser (or more cutesy) young actor in the role, Marcus could have become too cloying to be effective, but Hoult pulls off the difficult trick of simply seeming like a “real kid”.That a film based on Hornby’s widely loved novel and featuring a cast this impressive manages to entertain is no big surprise. But to see a comedy with such warmth and tenderness offered up by the directors of American Pie is surely a welcome bit of news. Some movies pretend to offer up something worthy of your emotional investment, yet deliver tired cliché and manipulative pap. About a Boy is a more sincere film than that. There are a few messages littered throughout, but this movie is no tearjerker with a pre-planned agenda.A movie filled with solid laughs, About a Boy allows us to spy on the tentative friendships of a handful of lovably flawed characters. About a Boy is fairly warm & fuzzy, but never in a simpering or maudlin way, it’s very funny without becoming silly, and most importantly – it never feels fake.
