About a Boy
Overview
Will Freeman enjoys a carefree life as the quintessential man-child, basking in the freedom that comes from his hit song's success. Unemployed and loving his bachelor lifestyle, his routine is upended when Fiona, a single mother with emotional needs, and her quirky 11-year-old son, Marcus, move in next door. Initially resistant to the idea of befriending a child, Will soon realizes that single dads attract women. A deal is struck: Marcus pretends to be Will's son for social gain, but their unexpected bond might just lead Will to invaluable personal growth and a deeper understanding of responsibility.
