About a Boy

Visible crew/equipment: After the math class scene, we see Marcus from behind as he walks toward the bulletin board to sign up for the talent show. In the upper right corner of the frame, there are someone's feet/black shoes and edge of a garment dangling from above. If they don't belong to a crew member, perhaps they belong to Ellie, her part in the scene having been cut out.

Continuity mistake: During the Xmas day scene, Markus receives a Sony portable CD player as a gift from Will. However, before the gift's unwrapped, the Sony box is visible on the table. (00:51:45)

Will: All men are islands. And what's more, this is the time to be one. This is an island age. A hundred years ago, for example, you had to depend on other people. No one had TV or CDs or DVDs or home espresso makers. As a matter of fact they didn't have anything cool. Whereas now you can make yourself a little island paradise. With the right supplies, and more importantly the right attitude, you can become sun-drenched, tropical, a magnet for young Swedish tourists.
