Flicks Advisor (comments from our film promoters)

Film was very suitable for the audience.

A wonderful film that had everyone laughing and in tears in equal measure.

A good film, most enjoyable.

Brilliant film, loved by the whole audience.

Much enoyed by our audience.... Tom Hanks pretty much perfect for the role.

Lovely film - well received by audience

Enjoyed by all! Excellent acting. The pace of the story-line kept up interest. A thought provoking film but amusing and entertaining.

Very enjoyable and brought a tear to many an eye

Excellent for our Audience. Comments were: No Swearing, Sex, or Violence, with easy comedy, some quite 'dry' but also definite meaning & message

Very well received by the audience: good performances, touching story, nothing too dramatic, a bit sad but plenty of humour.

The film itself was very good and pretty much true to the book. Sad at times but the acting was brilliant. Tom Hanks excelled himself.

An excellent story told through humour but tinged with sadness. Great chemistry between the actors.

An unusual film with a grumpy hero and affectionate associates. Touching and entertaining, and outstanding role by Tom Hanks

Tom Hanks is brilliant in this, at times, really sad film, but also an uplifting film. Brilliant!

This was enjoyed by everyone attending. The characters steer a healthy route through a plot that could have been cheesy, but all the principles played their parts very well. Very enjoyable.

Just loved this film. Such good photography, excellent pacing and the main characters were so relatable too. Audience reaction was really positive, both from people who had read the book and those who hadn't!

Suicide scenes were difficult and might upset some.

very good . well acted and would recommend it

The village audience really enjoyed the film. Some reckoned it was the best film we have shown in a long while!

A lovely film Can highly recommend

Tom Hanks on top form

The audience thoroughly enjoyed the film, even though it was sad.

An excellent film, with a great musical score and very well acted. There were several laugh out loud moments which helped to balance the very poignant side of the story.

Tom Hanks at his best ! Very good reaction from audience at the end. We'd shown the Swedish version (A Man called Ove) some years ago - this was better, with more humour, though it had a sad theme to it. Recommend use of sub-titles !

Although the film had an emotional ending, it was a superb performance from Tom Hanks

Excellent.

Very sad and thought provoking with humour throughout, which the audience appreciated, with expression and lots of laughs! Many single people in the audience, who could empathize with the story and the comments were that it was a good film and kept your interest.

Really pleased that we chose this film. All enjoyed it. Bit tearful but brilliant acting from the 2 leads. Tom at his best.

Rated by our audience as a great film, glad we had shown it.

Another excellent portrayal from Tom Hanks but the stand out performance is from Mariana Trevino as his neighbour Marisol. The film will make you laugh and make you cry - recommended for Flicks/Rural Reels audiences

Nice film, low turn out but we put this down to bad weather.

Some of the audience who knew nothing about this film said how they had really enjoyed the storyline and the cinematography.

Brilliant film, great acting from the cast.

An excellent film, enjoyed by all our audience. Great acting and script, funny, a little sad at times, but an uplifting story of how a little kindness and determination can change a person's outlook.

A tremendous film , humorous and touching and superbly acted.

A funny, poignant and touching film
