great movie
So interesting, teaches lots of things love, perseverance, tolerance, endurance, so many of it, Otto was really a good man....
Watch (man called ove) the Swedish version much better, naturally acted and all feels perfectly fit in their environment. Here with Tom Hanks it's feels just meh! The location of the houses looks as part of mini stage artificial, there's no friendly or homey feeling. And they had to insert an extra character that wasn't part of the original story (the transgender boy) so it does feel like the usual nowadays with the USA movies listing the tick points (include a Latino family + black family + must LGBT or your movie won't get the green light). So if you want to enjoy a good feeling light hearted movie go and watch the 2015 Swedish movie.
