Plot hole: When Hugh is walking near the park gate, he should have seen Marcus. Marcus was on the same side of the post as Will was.
About a Boy (2002)
1 plot hole - chronological order
Directed by: Paul Weitz, Chris Weitz
Starring: Toni Collette, Rachel Weisz, Hugh Grant, Nicholas Hoult, Sharon Small, Madison Cook
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.
Lindsey's Mum: Are we having duck? Delicious.
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.
