Honestly, Tom just doesn't come across grumpy enough, but I am a fan so I'll probably watch it, although the Swedish version is a terrific movie and that actor (Rolf Lassgard) pulled off the grumpy old man perfectly.

[tinamcghee]

The book was so amazing as was the Swedish movie version. But as a western pa native and Tom hanks fan I am so supper excited.

[Denisepettersson]

What is they gonna fight about in the american version instead of saab and Volvo ??

[ElectariumTunic]

The trailer to the Swedish original showed a dark comedy about suicidal grumpy old man finding meaning in life after the death of his wife and child

The American trailer looks like a family comedy about a grumpy old man

[skitbra]

att han inte kör en jävla Saab e ju de sjukaste

[Rhukzy]

I really hope they have the parts with him growing up in this western version, wasn't a single piece of it in the trailer so hope they save it for the movie.

[Thesenseiformerlyknownas]

The original was fantastic, but Tom is a great actor so hopefully he can do it justice.

[DeborahHodge]

The book was so powerful, because they included the fact that every time he was trying to commit suicide, someone was knocking on his door for something! I think the book was so powerful BECAUSE of the contrast between what his life had become, without his loving wife, and what affect the new neighbors had in his life. I hope they include some of that melancholy, so the audience can see how this family really ‘saved’ him from himself.

I literally can't think of a better actor to portray the American version of Ove / Otto. I loved the Swedish movie with Rolf Lassgård. Hanks is the perfect match talent-wise.. From the trailer it seems they've toned Otto's inner hatred and bitterness down a notch or two? I guess that's to suit the American viewers? Anyway - this story and these actors ensures the experience will be more than rich. We're in for a treat ❤

[oyuyuy]

I strongly suggest that you watch the original instead, this version failed to make the character justice.

[rachelcrooks]

As a Pittsburgh native and huge Tom Hanks fan, it actually feels like Christmas that he’s playing the lead of my favorite book!!

[gtf]

I can see Jack Lemmon or Walter Matthau in this role. Grumpy old man.

[heygeggan]

Why must America always always do remakes of good foreign movies? All the Hollywood movies are the same and watching s foreign movie once in a while should feel quite refreshing. Is it difficult to read subtitles?

[lindawinchester]

This is cool. I ttly love Tom Hanks in everything he does. I’m looking forward to it.

[megtessensohn]

I can't wait! Love this trailer and Tom Hanks

[taylortreasuresluciataylor]

I live in Pittsburgh so I got to see some of the filming of this!

[nomichan]

What is wrong with you people, just watch the swedish version with subtitles.

[nagromtw]

I really hope they dont make it any more light hearted than the orginal book/move.

[Robman]

I’m Swedish but haven’t seen the original Swedish version, I will watch this one tho! Looks great and less depressing 🙌

[SakakiDash]

I'm excited but this just seems like a straight out US version of the Swedish one.
