Description

Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy® winner Matthew Rhys, 2018 Best Actor in a Drama Series, The Americans) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love and forgiveness from America’s most beloved neighbor.

    I'm glad the film was not a doc-style film but instead a compelling story how Lloyd was impacted by Mr. Rogers. Lloyd was a perfect cynical character for how all us adults (me included) who never saw Mr. Rogers can learn from his simple yet essential messages to children - kindness, forgiveness, love. The commuter train ride was magical, the diner was emotional, and the talk about death with Lloyd's family was reassuring. I smiled and got teary eyed throughout this beautiful film.

  • Wonderful!!!!

    I was hoping for a movie about Mr. Rogers. This is a interaction with someone and Mr. Rogers.

  • Best Movie Ever

    I love this movie. Tom Hanks did a fantastic job, it really couldn’t be better. The story line and how they showed what a kind and caring person Mr.Rogers is, makes you feel happy. I’m actually praying that there is a sequel. I would love to see more!

  • You have to watch this!

    What an amazing story! Tom Hanks is one of the most amazing actors of our time and this movie doesn’t disappoint, such a unique perspective with this story. The entire family loved it and took us back to remembering watching Mr. Rogers.

    A little too slow for my taste.

    I thought I was in for a sappy 120 minutes of unconditional feel good but got so much more. Mr. Rogers would be proud.

    It was okay. I thought it was going to be more about Mr. Rogers. Instead it's a view of Mr. Rogers thru the eyes of this reporter. Frankly, I thought the documentary on Mr. Rogers was WAY better. This film was interesting...just not as great as I expected. Tom Hanks is awesome as Mr. Rogers.
