So I watched A Man Called Otto not knowing that it was a remake. Honestly I watched it because I like Tom Hanks. And I thought it was okay. Not bad enough to turn off but perhaps that's because I didn't have any expectations going into it.
I can definitely agree that a lot of the characters and situations were a bit unnatural and that's why I say it's just an okay movie.
However unnatural the characters were I still enjoyed Tom Hanks' performance in it and the contrasting relationship he developed with Marisol. I don't know the name of the actress but I liked her performance as well.
Perhaps I should go watch A Man Called Ove now
