Fans of the BBC sitcom "One Foot in the Grave" might recognise something of the "Victor Meldrew" in Tom Hanks' portrayal of the eponymous curmudgeon. Formerly head of the community association, he takes it upon himself each morning to do his "rounds" - checking the gates are closed, the permits are displayed, the recycling is correct - all pretty anal, really.

A Man Called Otto was an incredible surprise for me, as a big Tom Hanks fan, but not in a good way. Tom Hanks starred in, and produced, this film, made popular in some literatary circles who enjoy books of this European very-dry comedy. For many that praise the movie are familiar with the original book, or similarly themed British movies. I wasn't. Simply put, having seen every Tom Hanks mov...
