Otto film starring Tom Hanks

Watched on tv last night and enjoyed it

I’ve videoed it so will treat myself to an afternoon delight later this week.

Has Tom Hanks ever made a bad film?

If he has Maybee, I’ve yet to see it!

Road to Perdition was amazing. I was looking at my dvd of Cloud Atlas today, though, wondering if I should watch it yet again in an attempt to understand what it’s all about . Or should I give up…

Tom Hanks really disappointed me in this film

3rd time of watching Otto, makes me tearful every time.

I’ve just googled the book which does sound good. I just can’t seem to read these days or I’d buy it. I wonder if I should try the audio book ( when I get round to subscribing to Audible, that is).

I thought it was a lovely film. Not brilliant, but enjoyable and different.
Tom Hanks can do no wrong for me. This may not be his best film but he was great in it.

The cat was very good, too…

It's a lovely heart warming film. Tom Hanks is one of my favourite actors.

I read the original book ‘ A Man Called Ove’ and persuaded my DH to come to our local vintage cinema to see it. He doesn’t like films much but will go there as you can sit at a table, in a comfortable chair, with a glass of wine. I glanced across at him and, to my amazement, he was crying! Lovely film

Same as Aveline - loved the book too much to see the film - Mr Hanks is really not my Ove (Otto in the film version)

Tom Hanks was brilliant but couldn’t help but be irritated by his new neighbour. I would be avoiding her.

I enjoyed watching on Tv this last weekend as it was too hot to go out.

A truly wonderful film. Very emotional but also has a deeper message and I find myself still thinking about it several days later.. always a sign of a good film. I knew nothing of the story and it came up randomly on the TV. I watched because I love Tom Hanks.. now an older man.

It was on tv at the weekend, lovely film, tissue warning at the end😪😪

Lovely film.

I really enjoyed the film and think it should be considered as a standalone as it isn’t really true to the good book version! Just a feel good film with no Oscars to be won

When I fisr saw the thread I thought, this was on TV last night, then I saw it was an old thread.

I watched it for about 30 minutes- 'till the scene at the railway station which I thought was ridiculous.

I do like Tom Hanks but this film just seemed to have one storyline- and it was a very depressing one. I didn't find it at all funny either- it just seemed to be trying too hard to say the same thing over and over...

'It's a wonderful life' did it so much better...

What a surprise to have a decent film on terrestrial television on a Saturday night as well. The adverts of course were an irritation but we enjoyed it,Tom Hanks is just so watchable. I’ve never disliked a single one of his films.

I watched this on Netflix.

Wonderful film and so moving.

Tom Hanks never disappoints.

It was on tv. Ch 4 I think?

Anyone: Otto was on TV last week. Can’t
remember which channel and which day but I loved it

I loved it but realise it’s an American version of the original (which I also watched and loved)
