About a Boy (2002) |
|
"Boy doesn't give in to the kind of sappy sentimentality most films like to lap up and barf out. Instead, this solid, smart comedy remains calm, classy and funny, as Grant gives the ladies another reason to fall for him." | |

After the Sunset (2004) |

Agent Cody Banks 2: Destination London (2004) |
