Message: [QUOTE="CL82, post: 5113256, member: 44"] I finally got around to Tom Hanks [B] A Man Called Otto[/B]. We've seen this formula before, crabby old man meets new, annoying, neighbors, and gradually is changed by the encounter. Gran Torrino comes to mind as well as St. Vincent. Gran Torrino is the standard among these threes, with St. Vincent and Otto roughly equivalent. But, Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks and he does a good job with the material. This particular version has a darkly entertaining subplot that I won't mention but that you'll figure out in short order. It's a good movie, and well worth the watch, but not particularly memorable.
