Ove: You drive a Volvo? (Derogatory)

Rune: Yes. What do you drive?

Ove, as if Rune is an expletive idiot: A Saab.

"we tried to disregard this and socialised like regular couples" that's too funny.

A Man Called Ove - Orderline Oring

"A Man Called Ove" by Fredrik Backman seems to be a favorite for many readers, 'melting' hearts. But for some of us, it's not the warm cup of beverage we'd like on a cold winter morning.

⭐⭐ Rating: 2 out of 5. Sneha Jaiswal (Twitter | Instagram) I borrowed a friend’s copy of “A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman when he was done with it. “It’s nice only,” is what he had to say about the novel, or something on those lines. Not an eloquently glowing review, but it’s a pretty small book, around 300 pages, the kind that I can usually finish within three days (one day if it’s…

kinda getting annoyed at Hollywood remaking great Scandinavian movies

I'm so sorry this is gonna sound weird but a few months ago, did you write about a man called Otto and how people should watch En Man Som Heter Ove?

If so, did you mean the 2015 or the 2018 version?And if you didn't, I'm so sorry, I've got mixed up over people I follow! 😱

It was me who wrote about it, I'm honestly impressed you remember it ^^

I am however baffled by your question because I've just googled a bit in order to answer it and I can find no 2018 version anywhere, but the 2015 one definitely looks right so I guess I'm saying that one?

I hope you like it!

its so funny that u guys for whatever reason decided to do an american version of a swedish movie and that u picked En man som heter Ove of all movies and put tom fucking hanks in it like thats peak american and i love it but how the fuck are they gonna pull this off like the whole premise of this movie is very swedish like im not sure how they will be able to americanize it in a way that makes sense and works like i had no idea this movie had any appeal to an audience outside of scandinavia like its so random to me like why this one what was it about this one that stood out

Would characters from explicitly stated remakes/adaptations count? Say, if someone were to submit the protagonist from A Man Called Otto because the film is just an Americanised version of En man som heter Ove/"A Man Called Ove"? (Disclaimer: not actually planning to submit him specifically)

If it's an official adaptation (or the one that keeps names and everything otherwise), then no, since they are supposed to be the same character.

Flygande Jacob- En riktig klassiker och bästa kollegan!

Detta är bloggens mest populära inlägg så jag antar att det tåls att publiceras igen! Flygande Jacob är en klassiker genom tiderna och detta recept uppfanns av min f.d. kollega som nu är pensionerad. En underbar person som heter Ove Jacobsson och som jobbade med flygfrakt. Därav namnet. Har du testat denna nationalskatt till rätt?Jag är tyvärr allergisk mot nötter och chili men det kan man ju ta…

i was very suspicious of the american adaptiation of en man som heter ove, but a man called otto really did it justice.

As recommended by @chaoskiro, i'm about to watch the highly acclaimed movie En Man Som Heter Ove, which has patiently been waiting there by my DVD player for me to watch it for about 3 months now.

I have not yet seen the Tom Hanks version so I have nothing to unfairly compare it to.

I may liveblog as I watch.

Ljudi kažu da Ove vidi svijet samo crno ili bijelo. Ali ona je bila njegova boje. Sve boje koje je imao.

A Man Called Otto https://bit.ly/3JPlbSE Gently coaxing boomers away from the culture-wars trenches, Otto is the sweet story of a sour man, a Christmas movie with no snow or jumpers (or Christmas, just for the avoidance of doubt). Otto is Ebenezer Scrooge in A Christmas Carol, or George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life, the guy failing to see that heaven is a place on earth, if you want it to be. See also Gran Torino (Clint Eastwood as the grouch copping redemption). And St Vincent (Bill Murray ditto). It’s an adaptation of a Swedish novel, En man som heter Ove (A Man Called Ove), a bestseller in many markets, and it’s already been spun off once, into … Read more
