About a Boy

"About a boy" is a new tv series from NBC that aired on february 22nd. Some of you may remember there was a movie with the same title in 2002 with Hugh Grant and Nick Hoult, well it is the same story; both of them are based on a book by the same name. The series is about this rich bachelor with no goals or responsibilities whose life completely changes after meeting the kid that just moved in next door and his quirky mother.

I was a bit worried they were going to mess with a really great story, but so far (the 2 episodes that have aired), I actually really like it. I hope they keep up the good work because it has lots of potential. The first episode was directed by Jon Favreau, he is also one of the producers of this show, and of Iron Man, but you all might remember him as Happy the bodyguard/driver for Tony and Pepper
