This is the second adaptation of the novel and is directed by Marc Forster and written by David Magee. Here is our handy guide with the plot, trailer, release date, cast, and more...
A Man Called Otto is set to premiere for a limited release in New York and Los Angeles on December 25 just in time for Christmas followed by a nationwide release on January 13, 2023.
A Man Called Otto is an inspirational story of how a man's life takes a turn for the better when he welcomes people into his life. The movie stays very close to the original bestseller and has been described as a "comical and moving" story. Otto Anderson lost his wife and decided to spend his days alone. He is known to be extremely cranky and gets furious at anyone or anything that disrupts his everyday routine. Otto is hated by everyone around him but that's not him. He is much more than a cranky old man. The happy emotions only come to the surface when he visits his wife's grave and spends time talking to her and sharing his agony about the world. Otto has no real-life human connection with any other human being until a young couple with two toddlers moves into the neighborhood. These new people in Otto's life suddenly change everything, because they never try to push him away. His day-to-day life takes a whole new turn. From babysitting to adopting a pet, the widowers start a new life and his new journey brings him joy that he never knew he needed.
