Movie review – “Beautiful Boy” (2010) **1/2

An intriguing topic matter - what if you son was one of those nutters who go on a shooting rampage - with some excellent acting from Maria Bello and Michael Sheen (is she required to be nude in every film she makes?) but there's no real story. It's a series of incidents and bits which could have been done in any old order. The kid who plays their dead son is brilliant. Meat Loaf pops up in the support cast.
