A story about growing up

It's a consistent coming-of-age story, the plot isn't tight, and frankly I think there's a little looseness.
But the story of two men is a good point.
The sentence with a programmatic nature: No man is an island, makes people feel like reading a composition while watching a movie.
Even so, basically, it's a good movie.
Two long-term friends, it's easy to think of "Paradise Cinema", but this movie is about the growth of two men, a little boy and a big man.
There are not many twists and turns in the process of growing up, and the movie is more inclined to the heart dynamics of the two.
There are two interspersed narrations from beginning to end. Their respective family life, love life, social life and so on.
It's full of British cool humour, and sometimes a little cosy that feels a little tacky.
Anyway, I think the boys are worth a look.

About a Boy quotes

  • Rachel: Ali has trouble meeting new people. You see, the last guy I went out with, well, he wasn't all good news.

    Ali: [loudly] He was a liar!

    Rachel: All right Ali.

  • Ali: I tell you, if your dad goes out with my mum, then you're dead. Really, dead.

    Marcus: Oh, don't worry. He's all right.

    Ali: I don't care if he's all right! I don't want him going out with my mum. So I don't wanna see him, or you, around here ever again, OK?

    Marcus: Well, I'm not really sure it's up to me.

    Ali: Well it better be! Or you're gonna die.

    Marcus: [voiceover] I was beginning to get the feeling that this kid Ali was a serial killer.

    Marcus: Can I have a go on your computer? What games have you got?

    Ali: Are you listening to me?

    Marcus: Yeah, it's just that I can't really do much at the moment, can I? I mean, Will - that's my dad - well, he likes your mum, and I think she's keen on him.

    Ali: [shouting] She's not keen on him! She's only keen on me!
