About a Boy (2002)
Directed by: Paul Weitz, Chris Weitz
Starring: Toni Collette, Rachel Weisz, Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult, Sharon Small, Madison Cook
Continuity mistake: When Will meets Rachel, right after Rachel says "Mine's Ali...Alistair", her arms keep changing positions. First she has got them on the table, then on her legs, and then on the next shot they're on the table again.
Continuity mistake: In the scene where Will and Marcus are playing snooker, a close up shot shows that Will is taking a shot on the blue, which appears right at the bottom of the screen. The camera changes and he is at a different side of the table playing a long red.
Trivia: We see Will typing in the website supermodelswithseethroughtops.com. This is actually an active Web site, but don't get excited. It consists only of a picture of the Pope in his "Pope-mobile".
Trivia: Brad Pitt turned down the lead role of Will Freeman on the grounds that it was implausible that someone so attractive would need to pretend to be a single father to meet women.
Trivia: In the beginning of the film, Marcus says he would be able to take care of his mum (Toni Collette) if he were Haley Joel Osment. Toni Collette played Haley Joel Osment's mother in the The Sixth Sense.
Will: Once you open your door to one person anyone can come in.
Rachel: Will, how do you use this blender thing?
Will: You don't.
Fiona: When you sing it brings sunshine and happiness into my heart.
Question: It says during the final credits that several scenes from Billy Elliot were show throughout the movie. I don't remember seeing these scenes. When are they shown?
Answer: It's when Will is in HMV looking for a CD and it's on the screen in the background.
