Very good movie with a little bit of wokeness
There are a few scenes with transgender young person being kicked out of house. But despite that the movie is great, heartwarming, and very funny.

Woke Sneak Attack
The film meanders along in a moderately entertaining way. We identify with Ottos struggle and enjoy & anticipate his rescue. Then a completely unnecessary and forced segment is forced into the story, not in the original book nor the Swedish movie. Malcome arrives on a bike, explains that Ottos wife was his teacher and was the only one who accepted his transgender life change decision. A more than passing amount of attention is given to Malcome, and he becomes somewhat of a shining hero by the end of the story. This was a classic Hollywood effort to “do their part” to advance the diversity, equity and inclusion religion that is spreading its dark and dangerous toxicity into our culture. This added character and scene really had no place, as it is forced upon unsuspecting viewers.

Don't be spend the money
Starts off well Otto hates everyone until he meets a Transgender kid. Otto's character completely changes for no reason and after meeting the trans kid once Otto invites him to move in. I left the movie theater at that point, shame could have been a heart warming story instead of a sickenly woke nonsense.

Had to insert it...
Beautiful movie and script. Tear jerker. During the most vulnerable, emotional moment, they insert the token Trans person to normalize it. What a way Hollywood! Will not recommend. Felt emotionally betrayed.

Ruined by Wokeness
Took a great book and movie and remade it to fit the woke agenda.

Trojan Horse
Don’t waste your time. It starts out well but sneaks in transgender promotion. Very disappointing. I couldn’t watch it until the end.

Pha-Q woke
Original Swedish film is much better.
Woke aspects are the 2 white males living in the area are complete useless idiots, the other one is a corporate a-hole. All the women are smart and capable. Even Otto is an angry failure who can't even manage to kill himself. Then we have the forced in pointless trans kid that is not in the original and the actor is horrible. Outside that the movie is just not that good. Unlike the original grumpy version Otto here is just an angry asshole who in real life would probably get punched in the face on a daily basis. People like that others tend to avoid, not engage and ask for help all the time. Also people that angry with life and others don't just offer to help at random. Otto is just completely unlikable as a character and I hated him within 10 min. Also some of the writing just makes no sense, like Otto fighting with the developers to get ADA compliance when his wife is in a wheelchair when they are young, then fast forward 20-30 years and the developer is still there and the project is still going on? That would be the worst most unprofitable project in history. Just watch the original if you can find it, it's far superior and has no woke in it.
