This was such a great movie.  It kept my attention throughout, and there was never a time I lost interest.  The movie flowed wonderfully.  I really felt sad for Otto.  He was a man who appeared to be mad at the world, but he was just a heartbroken man who lost his entire will to live when he lost his wife.  With the help of an over bearing new neighbor with a huge heart, Otto learns to live again.
