Movie recommendation (Page 3): Hi Sam it is a remake of A Man Called Ove which is Swedish. I have seen that but not the Tom Hanks version. Pretty good bet it will be good with TH in it...

"A man called Otto" starring Tom Hanks and an outstanding supporting cast. I cried and laughed through the entire movie. I hope you enjoy it if you chose to watch.

Based on the book "A Man Called Ove". Read the book and watched the original movie that came out in 2015. I also saw the Tom Hanks version. Both are excellent but I give the edge to the original Swedish version. You can see the original version with sub titles here: https://ev01.cc/movie/watch-a-man-called-ove-online-11165

I, too, recommend the movie. Such a wonderfully funny, poignant, sad, fantastic movie. The cast is marvelous, the story is believable, and the performances outstanding. My wife and I enjoyed it so much we bought the CD.

Since I'm a movie buff I won't take your word that it''s good so I'll just watch it myself. I appreciate the review and will find a good time so that I can watch with no interference.
Thank You, David

We saw the Swedish version (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Man_Called_Ove_(film) ), A man Called Ove, a while back. We enjoyed it... may watch the Tom Hanks version as well.

It was ok--a chick flick for sure.

Not so sure about that, especially if the chick you have in mind knew or was married to someone like the Otto character. It's about character development which should relate to any gender.

Thanks Sam. I'll have to do that tonight.

Saw it last week. Loved it. Only problem is my wife called me Otto for a week.
