About a Boy (S) 6:00pm UA Battery Park Cinemas

Paul and Chris Weitz, the directors of "American Pie," make a transition to London with their adaptation of Nick Hornby's international bestseller. In "About A Boy," Hugh Grant stars as Will, who, with the possible exception of Cleopatra, is perhaps the most narcissistic character ever presented onscreen. Will is a rich and irresponsible Londoner in his thirties who, in search of available women, invents an imaginary son and starts attending single parent meetings. In spite of Will's machinations, and in some of the most pathetic attempts to pick up women ever filmed, he eventually finds himself in the precarious position of caring about someone other than himself, in the form of Marcus, a 12-year-old boy. The charmingly unscrupulous Grant is joined by a supporting cast, including Rachel Weisz, Toni Collette, and Nicholas Hoult as Marcus.
