About

You’ll likely enjoy this gentle comedy-drama if you like character-led stories about grief, neighbors, and unexpected change; Not for you if you want a purely realistic tone or prefer films that match the book closely, and if you didn’t care for A Man Called Otto.

Pros: grumpy-to-heart charm; strong emotional arc; lots of humor | Cons: some comedy feels off; pacing can crowd subplots; adaptation differs from book
