Holy crap. That was a roller coaster.

The wife and I liked it…good movie.  Don’t care for the person Tom Hanks has become but whatever

Watched A Man Called Otto on Netflix, which was awesome since I didn't have to buy a ticket or drive to a theater.

Having said that, I enjoyed the movie enough that if I had paid to view it in a movie theater it would have still been well worth it.

Otto Rating: Two thumbs up.

I liked the original book/movie, A Man Called Ove. It really, truly didn't need to be remade. It's a great story, and there are several other books by the author that are like it. There's also a series on one of the streaming services with characters he developed.

Saw it this weekend. Good movie, but prefer the original. Hanks character Otto, scenes and the scenery didn't fully display the resentment that was captured with Lassgård and therefore the Rollercoaster changes didnt feel as genuie as in the original. But as said, still liked it. 

 

I liked that they gave Otto a typical Swedish lastname. Anderson, well, we spell it with 2 s. Andersson, Son of Anders. Actually my mothers father was born as Andersson but his brother and him changed to a made up name during military service to the lastname I have today. We are 28 people with this lastname.
