He is an adult but he never grew up.<br \/>\nHis life changes when a single mother and her young son move in next door.<br \/>\nMarcus doesn&#8217;t have any friends and is a bit &#8220;odd&#8221; but for some reason the connects with Will and vice versa.<br \/>\nFrom there on the three of them have a kind of relationship that is very hard to explain to outsiders but it works for them.<\/p>\n<p><em>My Opinion:<\/em> The show started during the Olympics back in February and will soon start its second season.<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s based on the same book and has (in the beginning) the same basic story as the movie of the same name starring Hugh Grant.<\/p>\n<p>The only truly recognizable names are Minnie Driver (<em>Good Will Hunting<\/em>) and Al Madrigal (<em>The Daily Show with Jon Stewart<\/em>).<\/p>\n<p>I liked the show right from the start and I am glad that it got a second season. Like most comedies I like it&#8217;s not of the Ha-Ha-LOL variety but bases his humour more on the general setting and the likeability of the characters.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  id=\"_ytid_77132\"  width=\"480\" height=\"270\"  data-origwidth=\"480\" data-origheight=\"270\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/gAlU0Fz_VqQ?enablejsapi=1&#038;autoplay=0&#038;cc_load_policy=0&#038;cc_lang_pref=&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;loop=0&#038;rel=1&#038;fs=1&#038;playsinline=0&#038;autohide=2&#038;theme=dark&#038;color=red&#038;controls=1&#038;disablekb=0&#038;\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  epyt-is-override  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About A Boy @ Wikipedia About A Boy @ IMDb Synopsis: Will wrote a Christmas song that made him decently rich a few years ago&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1711,1710],"tags":[1712,891,1713],"class_list":["post-1399","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-tv-season-2014-2015-diary","category-tv-season-diary","tag-about-a-boy","tag-good-will-hunting","tag-the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1399"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1400,"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1399\/revisions\/1400"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1399"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1399"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/doena-journal.net\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1399"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
