Today we discuss the 2002 dramedy "About a Boy" starring Hugh Grant, Toni Collette, and Nicholas Holt. This film was sadly only nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay, but that didn't stop us from gushing over Hugh Grant and marveling at several of the other actors' performances, which in our opinion, definitely earned a nomination. While the only thing "Christmas-y" about this movie is a Christmas song plot point and that it ends on Christmas day, it does have a nice message that in order to truly live a full and happy life, you must fill it with people that care for you. No one man is an island.
