Description

Inventing a two-year old son for himself, he meets lonely, bullied schoolboy Marcus (Nicholas Hoult) and his depressed, music therapist mother (Toni Collette).

Plot Synopsis
Will Freeman, a shallow thirty-something bachelor, lives a carefree life courtesy of his deceased father's fortune. Will is terrified of commitment and so decides that single mothers will make the easiest romantic targets... His world is turned around when he meets Marcus, a twelve year old boy. Marcus teaches Will that there is much more to life than loafing around in his London flat and worrying about the latest trends and fashions... Based on the best selling novel by Nick Hornby.
