Tom Hanks, you're on thin ice!
could have at least turned itself into the heartwarming but forgettable dramedy it’s intended to be. But with Hanks hammering his cranky character into the audience at every conceivable second, it’s a wonder anyone else on-screen bothers to look at him, let alone try to strike up a conversation.
Otto isn’t just grumpy, he’s clinically depressed. Having lost his beloved wife, Sonya, six months earlier to cancer, Otto has been unable to live with the pain of her absence. As a widower, Otto can only see all of the bad in the world around him. That is, until a new neighbor, Marisol , moves in across the way with her family.
As Marisol attempts to break through Otto’s hardened exterior, she inadvertently thwarts his suicide attempts. Yes,attempts—there are a whopping four total. Otto’s effort to hang himself goes awry after he eats Marisol’s chicken mole, a neighborly thank-you gift for helping them move in. The film never directly says it, but it seems that the extra weight from a delicious lunch sent Otto tumbling back to the ground.
