What could have been just another older man learns from young boy OR boy comes of age after meeting an interesting man IS INSTEAD a very likable comedy about a community of individuals fulfilling the role of family. Another under-appreciated effort by Hugh Grant and well directed by the Weitz Brothers.
Rachel Weiss is beautiful in this and all the actors are great.
My main reason for watching and liking this movie is because of Rachel Weiss, who plays the love interest of Hugh Grants character. She is beautiful. But that isn't the only reason to watch this. There is comedy and an interesting story. And acting of all the actors are great. But this isn't exactly my type of movie. I like science fiction and action, and this movie doesn't have anything like that. But it's not exactly a family movie either, even the story suggests that. It has some bad cursing or language in it, so if you don't like that, I don't suggest watching it.
