Agree OP! I see nearly every movie that comes out in the theater. Hanks + the movie were bad. Swedish version was miles better.

And the 25th film he ruined just by being in it.

I thought Man Called Otto was delightful. Also saw the original Swedish version, which also was delightful. There is room for both in my movie-watching world.

He’s become such a stodgy actor. Remember when he was funny?


He was great as the manipulative manager in Elvis …

Last night on Prime, we watched the original A Man Called Ove.

If you can handle the subtitles, it is much better!



A Man Called Ove is great.

A Man Called Otto is hideous, all the hateful racist stereotypes in one simple package. We were disgusted -- 2023!!!!


Can you give some examples? I'm usually sensitive to stuff like you mentioned but I didn't walk away with the same feelings you did.

The original was so good. This is yet another example of a movie being remade that does not in any way need to be remade.
