Is it really Christmas time if we don’t have at least one movie with an old grumpy guy’s heart thawing thanks to a bunch of kids and family?
Tom Hanks’ latest endeavor, A Man Called Otto, is a heartwarming little story of a lonely widower who finds a family through his new neighbors. Adapted from Fredrik Backman’s novel A Man Called Ove and directed by Marc Foster (Finding Neverland), the touching feature sees Otto Anderson’s (Tom Hanks) whole world turning upside down when his pregnant neighbor, Marisol (Mariana Treviño), knocks on his door.
I don’t know about you, but personally, I’m ready for more Tom Hanks grandpa-core.
A Man Called Otto is premiering across select theaters on Dec. 25, with a wide release on Jan. 13.
