Plot: Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. With people finding it hard to like him, grizzled widower Otto Anderson has earned a reputation for being the neighbourhood's irascible, unbearable old grump. But what do they know? And then, just when life seemed to have lost its meaning, sunny new neighbour Marisol and her family move in across the street, interrupting the short-fused curmudgeon's secret plans to go out with a bang. And as the undaunted newcomer's generosity and compassion wear down the frigid misanthrope, melting his ice-cold heart one act of kindness at a time, a question emerges. Is Otto the grumpiest man in America??
Alternative Plot: Based on the comical and moving New York Times bestseller, A Man Called Otto tells the story of Otto Anderson (Tom Hanks), a grumpy widower whose only joy comes from criticizing and judging his exasperated neighbors. When a lively young family moves in next door, he meets his match in quick-witted and very pregnant Marisol, leading to an unexpected friendship that will turn his world upside-down.
