I just watched A Man Called Otto. It is an excellent movie. Although I do not like Tom Hank's political ideology, nevertheless, he is an excellent actor and very good in this movie.
It is about a grumpy old man who has lost his wife and he plans on "ending it all." Things do not go as planned. In addition, he becomes involved with and then friends of people in his neighborhood. They help him and he helps them. It's an interesting film.

This is an American remake of a Scandinavian movie "A Man Called Ove." Worth watching and also reading the book.

I thought it was excellent. Being a long time widower myself (I have another wonderful woman in my life now) it touched a few nerves I hadn't felt in quite a while.

As far as Hanks' politics, he's an idiot, but there are far more far worse than him in Hollyweird.
Aside from that he's an outstanding actor and rarely drops the ball, if ever.
Had to make myself watch Otto, because it isn't my normal type of flick, but I'm glad I did. Another homerun for Hanks.

No better or worse than most of the Hollyweird Libertard Demon voting crowd. That being said, it’s a good movie as LeanWolf mentioned. And definitely better than most of the Woke Liberal Bullschitt Hollyweird films they pedal nowadays. I don’t pay to go to any of their Woke Ass Movies anymore. I watched it on the Commie Socialist Netflix App. 😬

I thought is was okay good. We get a free movie per month so didn't pay, and having seen it don't think I would pay to see it. It's a steady slow paced film, good for when you don't want to follow a complicated story.

Watched it a couple of days ago. Always have to put that trans crap in everything now. Otherwise it was a decent movie
