I enjoyed the film that the new Tom Hanks cranky old man comedy is based on, “A Man Called Ove.” It came out in 2015, and my review of it is linked here.

My only concern is that sweet ol’ Ton Hanks won’t be surely enough. Remember, he was the sweetest hitman in cinema history in “Road to Perdition.”

“Ove” became “Otto” and opens in most of the country Jan. 6, this coming Friday.
