7. I liked it a lot but I think the Swedish original, "En mann som heter Ove,"

is a bit better; the main character is older, crabbier and sadder. Otherwise the scripts are pretty close, except how Ove met Sonja. In the American version the cat has a bigger part, which I liked.

10. I will have to try to find the Swedish version

I watch everything with subtitles anyway, so it will all be good.
Loved the feral cat!

12. Thank you. I prefer to read than watch.

I will check for a copy at the library.

13. The book was wonderful - maybe better than both movies.

The name of the book is A Man Called Ove (the Swedish name was retained), the author is Fredrik Backman.

15. Thanks. I usually prefer books to movies.

17. It is a great book.

19. Fredrik Backman has a few other books, and they are all really good.

His book "Anxious People" has been made into a tv series. It's weird and funny. https://www.netflix.com/title/81214609

18. I watched it a while back at the theater..I loved it.

First movie I had gone out to see in a very long time and I picked a good one!

[PatrickforB]

20. Yeah, my wife and I watched it Sunday night.

Tom Hanks is one of the truly great actors.

A Man Called Otto left both of us appreciating the miracle of love.

23. If Tom Hanks ever made a bad or mediocre movie I haven't seen it.

Really enjoyed the move and loved the bit left in his letter about not letting the husband drive the Chevy. Heart warming, poignant and funny.
