The original Swedish version was great. The book is amazing. This needs to involve a Saab. If you know you know.

[isabelheilborn]

As a Swede who’s seen the original movie, I really hope they don’t “turn down” the tragic parts. One of the things that makes the story so good is the mix of humor and heavy topics such as suicide and grief.

[Campbellzilla]

The original film is one of the most heartwarming and heart-wrenching movies I've seen and brought me to tears. If this movie makes me cry I'll consider it a success.

[lunne]

As a swede, the original is perfect. I hope they keep the tone faithful to it. The story is the important bit.

[melodeene]

I can't wait! This book is one of my all-time favorites! I just hope they do it justice. I'm putting my faith in Tom Hanks right now, because the world needs a movie like this that brings people together instead of being divisive.

[dlkkrueger]

I read the original story (A Man Called Ove) and saw the film. I think this Tom Hanks's take will be great based on the trailer. I love anything Hanks does.

[adamlowe]

Wow. I lived on that street (Gilliland Ave. in Bellevue PA) for two years. So surreal to see one of my favorite movies adapted to this scene with such a great leading actor. Can’t wait!

[slyasleep]

This will get torn to shreds, and probably rightly so. Oh Tom.

[Monika-mhje]

Just finished the book, now I'm crying. The book wonderful, funny, sad and touching a lot of topics, I hope they keep the storyline in the movie.🥰

[KenJohnsonMusic]

I am still amazed how that guy who first came on the scene wearing a dress, turned out to be the best actor of our generation.

[debbyferguson]

Awww....I wanted his name kept as Ove, his Swedish name, not Otto!🙄
I watched the original Swedish A MAN CALLED OVE with English subtitles and it was superb!🤗 Loved the actor, Sven Nordin, who played Ove and all the characters!
I sure hope Tom Hanks and rest of cast do the American version justice!
A wonderful novel and movie!
Bravo, Mr. Backman !👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're a genius!💥

[randomxiet]

The original is my favorite movie of all time. This better be good!

[SuperMelibelly]

This is amazing, I just read this book recently and I pictured Tom Hanks as Ove and lo and behold I see this trailer. The thumbnail even reminded me of the book! I hope they do it justice

[bobossyy]

You can't say no to a cute cat, even Tom Hanks !!

[daveotacon]

Now they make a movie about my life.
At least they got Tom Hanks to play it.

[aiRbckwrds]

I'll have to see the original and the read the book. I know that I'm going to cry because I was teary-eyed from the trailer.

[rebeccagreen]

Lol!! :)
That looks great!
You can never go wrong, with Tom Hanks!

[anishmalhotra]

I read this book 4 months ago and boy i loved it. So happy to see they chose tom for this role🌝

[GodfreyAtlast]

I just saw “A Man Called Ové” on Prime and by the looks of this trailer, the American remake will not be as great as the original. Ové was such a great movie!!!

[llddau]

I think Tom Hanks has gotten better to watch as he got older. This was an amazing movie.
