About a Boy, 2002
Let’s be honest; there is no shortage of films about men who will do pretty much anything to find themselves a girlfriend. And whilst this genre might not be the most romantic or even moral, there are some rather entertaining films out there, such as About a Boy.

In this 2002 comedy-drama, Hugh Grant, Rachel Weisz, and Toni Colette play alongside each other. Pretty much, Hugh Grant’s character tries to impress Rachel Weisz’s character by claiming to have a son, when in reality he does not. This whole thing goes down at a lovely New Year’s Eve party… Spoiler alert: it doesn’t end well.
