A Man Called Otto stars a curmudgeonly Tom Hanks frustrated by his neighbors and changing neighborhood, at least according to the trailers. It's actually a lot darker than that.
Trigger warning: suicide
Otto is suicidal for reasons that become apparent in the film. For all of the light hearted moments, the dark nature makes it challenging to enjoy the film. Further, separate from the themes not shown in the trailer, there's not much surprising in this otherwise predictable tearjerker screenplay. Though I have not seen the original movie A Man Named Ove or read the book, it appears the original movie had the decency to share the nature of the movie.
