Based on the comical and moving New York Times bestseller, “A Man Called Otto” tells the story of Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), a grumpy widower whose only joy comes from criticizing and judging his exasperated neighbors. When a lively young family moves in next door, he meets his match in quick-witted and very pregnant Marisol, leading to an unexpected friendship that will turn his world upside-down.

Touches on the same weighty themes as ‘A Man Called Ove’ — isolation, suicide, and mortality among them — but from the start, director Marc Forster…pulls back the drapes to brighten what in the original version was a decidedly murky room.
