MAN AND BOY (1996)
SIMON CURTIS
Plot
High-flying TV exec Harry Silver is growing restless with married life and parenthood. When his wife Gina discovers he's had a one-night stand with a work colleague, she walks out on him, leaving the hapless Harry to take care of the couple's five-year old son Pat. The going is tough at first, but with the help of his parents and the American waitress at Pat's favourite restaurant, Harry starts to learn some hard lessons about being a good father. An effective adaptation of Tony Parson's slightly naval gazing, new age man tale.
