Relationships are complicated, but children make them even more of a challenge. Romantic comedy lovers will want to know that Universal has scheduled two films for release. "About a Boy" and "Definitely, Maybe"—both rated PG-13 and featuring children as co-stars—come to Blu-ray for the first time on May 1.

"About a Boy" (2002)
Hugh Grant (Notting Hill) is simply brilliant in the comedy hit "About a Boy," based on the best-selling book by Nick Hornby. Will Freeman (Grant) is a good-looking, smooth-talking bachelor whose primary goal in life is avoiding any kind of responsibility. When he invents an imaginary son in order to meet attractive single mothers, Will gets a hilarious lesson about life from a bright, but hopelessly geeky, 12-year-old named Marcus. Now, as Will struggles to teach Marcus the art of being cool, Marcus teaches Will that you're never too old to grow up. Co-starring Rachel Weisz ("The Mummy") and Toni Collette ("Little Miss Sunshine"), "About a Boy" is an irresistible romantic comedy that TIME Magazine called "smart, funny and winsome."

"Definitely, Maybe" (2008)
When Will (Ryan Reynolds) decides to tell his daughter (Abigail Breslin) the story of how he met her mother, he discovers that a second look at the past might also give him a second chance at the future. Co-starring Elizabeth Banks, Rachel Weisz and Isla Fischer, "Definitely, Maybe" is a charming and irresistible romantic comedy that makes you realize it’s definitely never too late to go back …and maybe find a happy ending.
