Synopsis

Adapted from Nick Hornby's bestselling novel, About a Boy tells the tale of an unlikely bond between free-and-easy, desperately hip bachelor Will, who lives off a large inheritance and has no responsibilities, and Marcus - an odd young boy with a depressed mother. Surprisingly for Will, his new friends begin to teach him more about life and love than he allowed before - leading to a possible new romance with a pretty single mum in this hugely likeable London-set story.

What our educators say

"We are currently screening The Wizard of Oz, profound film that it is, and the last film Wall-E. It's been rewarding observing the KS1 6 year olds run the gamut of emotions from wonder to sadness to joy. "
