Which in turn was based on the book "A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman...
@apttodo and, I guess we agree, the Hanks one is a cheap knock-off.
@nescobar-a-lop-lop Actually, I don't agree (although I haven't seen "A Man Called Otto" yet). Backman seems to be proud of it, he's met the producers and been on set, met the director, and other cast and crew. One of the producers also produced the Swedish film. So, I'm going to go into it with an open mind, and we shall see.

@apttodo that may be true, still, it feels unnecessary to me :)
@apttodo Excellent book, I highly recommend reading it.
