 Paul Weitz Revisits His Teenage Wasteland with the Play Privilege
As he spoke, Weitz was busy slicing the pears in a roasted-pear-and-Gorgonzola salad and troweling tuna tartare onto waffled potato chips at a far west 42nd Street diner called the West Bank Cafe, the only place serving the raw-fish dish anywhere near the Second Stage Theatre.
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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
A semi-surreal, darkly comical twist on Giuseppe Verdi's tragic opera "Rigoletto," that film is a clever, stinging commentary on modern corporate culture, whereas this one has all the bite and insight of a Mickey Mouse cartoon.
