Rachel Weisz in About a Boy?

Can anyone tell me how much screen time Rachel Weisz has in the film
"About a Boy"? I have seen some reviews that imply she is in about
1/2 the film and has a lot of scenes, and other reviews make it sound
as if she only shows up for the last 1/3 of the movie, and is not seen
very much. CCity has the dvd on sale this week, and I would like to
pick it up if she has more than just a small role.

Thanks.

As a huge Weisz fan, I can say, not nearly enough.
Closer to the "last 1/3" of the movie.

Rent it for Hugh Grant. He was great in it.

I am so glad Hugh Grant is around. He makes the only chick flicks I
can enjoy. Just watched "2 weeks notice" and I can not imagine ANY
male lead who could have made that film enjoyable other than Grant. He
was a riot. As for Rachael, she has minimal screen time in "About a
boy". She also has an incredibly androgenous ethnically blurry son in
the movie. I initially thought her child was the punk chick the boy
liked and couldn't figure out why they didn't recognize each other.

As she can't act for toffee, and her voice grates like a great big graty
thing, I'd say....far too much.

Liked the movie a lot, though. I think it's because I'm verging on that
time of my life. You younger guys likely won't "get it"...
