Ratings and reviews

I am sorry to say that this will be 2 hours of your life that you will never get back. They tried to make a version of the Swedish movie but everything failed. Choice of actors, movie scenes and the story. The hole movie is a mess with lack of a clear storyline. This movie should never have been made in this format...

Moved by this movie, a tragedy can move all audiences with comedy colors, it did it, it succeeded, this is a good work with both tears and laughter, and a good movie that heals people and warms people. The whole story does not drag on the slightest, the plot rhythm, the story connection is very smooth, although it is a remake, even if you have not seen the original Swedish movie "A Man Named Ovie Decides to Die", the overall look will be very smooth, Tom Hanks portrayed the character of Otto viv

A very good movie and well done. Did not want to pause even for popcorn. Four thumbs up.
