Will Freeman is the envy of every man; he drives a fast car, enjoys casual relationships and at 38 has rid his life of all responsibilities... until he meets Marcus, a unique 12-year-old boy who turns his life upside down with hilarious results. Featuring a fantastic soundtrack written especially by the critically acclaimed Badly Drawn Boy, Hugh Grant (Notting Hill, Bridget Jones's Diary) in his best performance to date alongside Rachel Weisz (The Mummy) and Toni Collette (Muriel's Wedding).
