One of the best movies on Amazon prime, the 2002 romantic comedy About a Boy centers on Will Freeman (Hugh Grant), a wealthy Londoner free of children and responsibility, who takes 12-year-old Marcus Brewer (Nicholas Hoult) under his wing and acts like he’s his son in order to impress a new lover, Rachel (Rachel Weisz).
Why it’s one of Rachel Weisz’s best movies: Everyone in About a Boy is absolutely perfect in their respective roles, especially Rachel Weisz.
As is typically the case with this setup, Will’s plan stands to blow up in his face.
