A MAN CALLED OTTO [15] 126 mins – Comedy/Drama
A remake of the Swedish film A Man Called Ove. Otto is a curmudgeonly widower with staunch principles, strict routines, and a short fuse. People think him bitter, and he thinks they are idiots. His well-ordered, solitary world gets a shake-up one November morning with the appearance of new neighbors, a chatty young couple and their two boisterous daughters, who announce their arrival by accidentally flattening Ove's mailbox with their U-Haul (removal van).
What follows is a heartwarming tale of unkempt cats, unlikely friendships, and a community's unexpected reassessment of the one person they thought they had figured out.
WHY COME? It’s a film about kindness, friendship and community. And it has Tom Hanks!
“A winningly grumpy performance from Tom Hanks — and a winningly sunny one from Mariana Treviño.” Empire.
