Paul and Chris Weitz, 2002 (Rom-Com, 12)
Distributed by: Universal Pictures
Budget: $27M
Box Office: £16M ($40M
Rotten Tomatoes: 93%
Synopsis:
This rom-com is slightly atypical,
in the fact that it features a central protaganist who is a man. The
movie follows a man as he chases a single mum and bonds with her son, an
outsider.

Titles:
The
titles are mostly similar to previous ones I have looked out. Notable
titles include the 3 main stars before the title of the movie itself and
'A Paul Wietz and Chris Wietz film', the latter title fits with the
aueter theory.

Points about the opening:
The opening features a soft guitar
song over the young boy's parts which picks up over the main characters
parts. It also has a voiceover over the opening. This voiceover provides
exposition on the characters and how they feel at the start of the
movie. There is a general lack of romantic elements through the opening,
though it is clear, though the cutting between the two (and the
foreshadowing of hugh grant holding a baby) that the two characters will
be link, most likely though the boys mum, as hugh grants character is
shown to have an interest in single movies, as shown at the end of the
opening.
