British actor and overall decent chapter Nicholas Hult first appeared on my radar as Military boy nux in "Crazy Max: Hughes Pat"by Which Stage He Had Already Started Established a Foothold in Hollywood By Taking Over As Beast In The" X-Men "Series. Since, he has developed into one of those actors who Seems to be in EVERY Other Movie, Movie, Movie, Movie, Movie. Appearing in Four High-Profile Films in 2024 (Albeit One, "Garfield," Was a Voice Role) and Playing Lex Luthor As a Psychotic Tech Bro in James Gunn's "Superman." Supporting numerous charities, including "Save children and trust in teenage cancer".

Hull started performing in theater productions in the 1990s at the age of just three years. In 1996 Weiss.

Intightly adapted by Nick Hornby's novel, "For a Boy" came together in a period of top popularity for the British author. District and Gentle Funny books of Hornby hit a sweet point in the middle of the late 90's. Touching the daily worries of the average British block and their obsessions, Hornby was always a pleasure to read and well -adapted to the adaptations of the middle budget film. First came the "fever pitch", with Colin Firth a little uncomfortable as an obsessive Arsenal fan, and "high fidelity" received Hollywood treatment With Johnon Kuzak and Jackack Black. "For a Boy" was probably the best of the draw: a movie that proved that Hugh Grant could really act, and this kid Nicholas Hult was not even bad.

Hugh Grant plays the properly named Will Freeman, a dedicated diploma comparing himself to an island-possibly Ibiza, because he is for all entertaining and accompanying plugins. Will is independently wealthy thanks to his father's Christmas song, which means he can spend his days, doing nothing more important than buying things, watching TV games and a visit to the barber to keep his hair "carefully disappointed". At the age of 38, he is happy to admit that he has never done a daily job in his life or has no significant long-term relationships.

After hanging out with a divorced mother and enjoyed stress -free breakup, Will decided to join the group to support single parents to use other lonely women. No child? There is no problem-it will only invent a two-year-old son called Ned and will start choosing Susie (Victoria Smurfit). Their pick player doesn't go as much as I would like because Susie carries Marcus (Nicholas Hult), the lonely and socially awkward 12-year-old son of her friend. Emotionally fragile mother of Marcus Fiona (Tony Collett) goes through a rough patch and, after trying to kill herself, Marcus decided to get Will her boyfriend to cheer her up.

Will is not interested, but Marcus held him and learned that he really didn't have his own child. Marcus uses this information to blackmail Will, who brazenly allows the child to hang out in his apartment after school. In return, Will persuades Marcus to pretend to be his son to be able to hang out with Rachel (Rachel Weiss), another attractive single mother with a son of the same age. Of course, Will's lies can't be a secret forever, and it all comes to the embarrassing head when it is discovered. However, despite his commitment to the shallow self-interest, he will gradually reveal the truth that no one is an island and is drawn into actually caring for Marcus and his mother.

"For a Boy" was critical and commercial success, with Hugh Grant received much praise for his performance and the script was nominated for the Academy Award. The film was getting older than the big romantic comedies that made the grant so huge, especially now we are familiar with his awkward public figure that may be closer to Will Freeman than it seemed at the time. He is also fascinating looking at the role of Hult.

At first glance, "For a Boy" seems to have been set in the same London zip code as all Richard Curtis Rome-Chamores for whom Hugh Grant was best known at that moment in his career. It has a similar shine to the surface, good looks and self-efficient humor, but he explores far deeper into the characters than he can first suggest the pleasant twinkle. After all, it is the story of three damaged and lonely people: Will, whose spoiled existence turned him into a meaningless and shallow individual trapped in a state of arrested adolescence; Fiona, whose daily struggle with mental health problems has seriously influenced her ability to be a constant mother present; And Marcus, whose unortodox upbringing and troubled domestic time, made an outsider directed by thugs at school.

The film works so well because the shameful script (co-written by directors Chris Weitz and Paul Weitz with Peter Hedzis) has greatly rejected sentimentality and temptation to make these people beautiful in the traditional way. This is where the grant features particularly. Soon after Playing Caddian female in "The Diary of Bridget Onesons". Grant shed their stunning English charmer Fatk to discover a more cynical and Misantropic side of his personality on the screen, which was perfectly suited for Will Freeman. He is well -aligned by Hult, who avoids seeking the compassion of the audience because it makes Marcus look disappointing and a little out, perhaps somewhere in the autistic spectrum. Lastly, it is natural to feel compassion for Fiona and her problems, but Colett portrays her as a brittle and prickly person with whom you may not have to spend a lot of time.

In other words, they look a lot like real people with truly messy lives than with characters in mainstream comedy and dynamics among them flexible and meals in credible ways such as the story. If there is a boom note, it is that the screenwriters cannot resist throwing in a love foothish interest in Marcus, also attracting unwanted comparisons with a very similar scenario in "Loveube, in fact". We do not need it in an otherwise careful and moving film that delivers well without resorting to a romantic end that connects all loose ends. I could also do without the frame of freezing the smiling face of the Hultt in the end, but I would forgive him. It seems to say: Look at this kid, he goes to places. And they were right.
