 Paul Weitz Revisits His Teenage Wasteland with the Play Privilege
The son of legendary fashion designer John Weitz and actress Susan Kohner (Oscar-nominated for her role in Imitation of Life), he grew up on Park Avenue and attended all the right all-boys schools, from Allen-Stevenson to Collegiate.
But Weitz’s play has an insider’s advantage, one fueled by the author’s own ambivalence toward his younger self—he’s at once protective and critical of the ways in which the brothers in his play are perversely unaware of their own status.
So Weitz went back to his childhood for the material for this play about two brothers, one 12 and the other 16, whose privileged Upper East Side lives are rudely interrupted when their father is arrested for insider trading.

 Paul Weitz - In Good Company
Paul Weitz may have changed Hollywood's film culture with his American Pie, co-directed by brother Chris, but his later films show no similarity with that raunchy teen classic.
Paul Weitz : It is extremely personal but the connections are probably are quite somewhat tenuous.
It came from hearing stories of various people who were either fired or whose parents have been fired, who have to readjust their lives at a point when they probably thought they were probably going to be at the top of their game and getting more and more responsibility.

 eye - Single Weitz males - 05.16.02
The Weitzes are critical of what they call the image of the "sainted single parent," and, without being nasty about it, About a Boy suggests that Fiona's parenting is unintentionally damaging Marcus.
Blending in with the crowd while maintaining a sense of their own individuality is a trick the Weitzes have perfected while working in Hollywood.
The Weitz brothers decided to preserve the book's London setting, and Chris's specialist knowledge of English culture, acquired while studying at Cambridge, comes in handy.

In Good Company (Directed by Paul Weitz) By Cam Lindsay May 18, 2005 Paul Weitz has done a remarkable job with his career following American Pie, a film that could have easily pigeonholed and reduced the director to gross-outs for the rest of his life.
Paul Weitz has come a long way since American Pie.
Also written by Weitz, the film centres on two sports magazine salesmen trying to survive in the cutthroat world of corporate America.

 In Good Company (Paul Weitz) Dennis Quaid Topher Grace Scarlett Johansson
Better known for his gross-out comedy American Pie and for the syrupy morality tale About a Boy (which received an Academy Award nomination for best adapted screenplay), Paul Weitz is hardly the type of talent one would expect behind a film about a ruthless corporate takeover.
Weitz, who also wrote the screenplay, has come up with another light morality tale, but unlike About a Boy, Weitz’s latest is an agreeable dramedy that is peppered with moments of genuine humor and pathos.
Those two actors play off of each other remarkably well, and they both bring a level of warmth and truth to their roles that go way beyond what is required either by the script or by Weitz's clunky direction.

Paul: I actually sat for two weeks in a room jumping up and down like a loon.
Paul: I was working at a bookstore that was going out of business over the course of two years, it was a theater bookstore, and there were fewer and fewer books on the shelves.
Paul: We’d come up with a really thought-out monologue for Woody Allen and then we’d go to the storyboard session where the animators have enacted your script and it’ll say “Zap, Pow…he gets smashed in the head with something.” (Both laugh) It was a true battle to keep it decent.

 PopMatters Film Interview Chris and Paul Weitz - About A Boy
Raised "in" the profession -- their dad is fashion designer/writer John Weitz and their mother is Susan Kohner, who played Sarah Jane in Douglas Sirk's Imitation of Life (1959) -- Chris and Paul share a healthy perspective on the business and the art of movies.
Different as they may be, and they are, Chris and Paul Weitz appreciate the specific weirdness that each brings to their relationship, as brothers and filmmakers.
While you would hardly call the Weitzes "sober," they are plainly serious about what they do, and understand their chosen profession in all its layers.

In Good Company movie review, Paul Weitz, Dennis Quaid, Topher Grace, Scarlett Johansson, Selma Blair, Clark Gregg, Philip Baker Hall, David Paymer, Marg Helgenberger, Kevin Chapman.
Written and directed by Paul Weitz (who made "American Pie" and "About a Boy" with his brother Chris), almost every scene in the movie lacks authenticity on some level.
The wood-paneled halls are populated entirely by tired, 50- and 60-year-old men (like character actors Philip Baker Hall and David Paymer) in drab suits, whom Weitz portrays as sacred cows being led to the slaughter by the insolent invasion of youth culture.
