I picked up Nick Hornby's 'About A Boy' today, and it's pretty good. 'High Fidelity' was good too.

the movie is great.

paul weitz is becoming one of my favorite directors. this and IN GOOD COMPANY are great as is American Pie.

I am looking forward to AMERICAN DREAMZ.

I've only seen About A Boy's movie. I REALLY like it. Saw it on FX I think.

I thought the concert scene was especially touching.

I've never read the book, but I LOVE the movie. I'm in a mood for watching it right now, feels like a late November/December movie to me.

Wow. This post makes me look like a moron. How long ago did I write this thing?

I really enjoyed the movie, and I'm a Nick Hornby fan. Will eventually pick up the book.

I did end up seeing American Dreamz and it was pretty average. Still agree on the other two movies but I'm not sure why I didn't capitalize anything other than movie titles in complete caps.

Just watched this again last night. So good. "American Dreamz" was such a wasted, dated pile. But the Weitzs probably have one of the most interesting mix of movies.
