Atom User Reviews for A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood

definitely more for adults who have memories of watching it... I'm a 90's baby I've seen episodes when i was young so i was able to understand but anyone born after 2k wont see it as a value like the mid early 90's and earlier adults.

This movie is like a walk through the most precious, priceless God given gifts we have, time and love. INVALUABLE GIFTS

I like to believe Mr. Rogers was the kind of person who wouldn't want a movie made about his life. By centering the movie on another character, screenwriters did a flawless job sharing the impact Mr. Rogers made on each individual person.

I needed that 🥺

Bring tissue.

Wonderful. Great story. Wonderfully acted. Just a great film.

Thank you Tom Hanks and THANK YOU Mr. Rogers!!

will change your life

Great movie due to Mr Rogers element but less about him and more about someone else. Should have shown both sides equally and it's a balancing act which they don't pull of but definitely one of Tom Hanks finest roles.

Went with my daughter (47) and her husband same age. My two grandsons 12 & 17. The parents and oldest graNdson watched Mr Rogers when they were little, and not little. I watched with my daughter everyday when she was small, and i must admit I watched it myself after she started school!❤️. The world coUld really use Some Mr Rogers today. The whole cast was wonderful, but Tom Hanks WAS Fred Rogers!

this movie is a must see very emotional and inspiring make sure to bring tissues

Must see

This movie is exceptional, so much better than my expectations.

Wow. Just wow. Cried my eyes out, make sure to bring tissues.

They told a story of Mr Rodgers that seemed to explore new territory. Especially for those unfamiliar with the article this film was based on.

I grew up watching Mr. Rogers so watching this movie was everything. I cried while silently singing along with his famous opening and closing songs from the show. Tom Hanks had all of Fred Rogers gestures everything down pat.

the best movie I have seen this year and I saw all big movies that came out this year.

Found it to be a very inspiring movie.

Definitely thought it was more about Lloyd than Mr. Rogers.

This is an amazing story of Mr. Rogers being interviewed by a journalist who would have preferred to interview someone else. The movie brings out the feelings of the two men and how they forged a friendship.

Growing up watch Mr. Rodgers took me back in time. Tom Hanks is a prefect fit for Mr. Rodgers!

There were times that I forgot I was watching Tom Hanks portraying Fred Rogers because he did such a great job. This was touching and honest and the dialogue and innuendos were spot on. As the mother of two estranged daughters, I could easily feel the anguish of the dying father and pray that one day both will come back to me before I die.

Thought it would be more about Mr Rogers and the many issues he covered in the show

It’s different in a good way from the show. It is a slow moving movie.

this movie personalizes the impact Fred Rogers had on people of all walks of life.

Great movie but not what I expected. Thought it would be more about Mr. Roger’s life but only partially so.

Absolutely loved it! A beautiful story of the power of patience, kindness and forgiveness.

Good to have you as my neighbor, Mr. Rogers!

Felt very real! It brought me back to my childhood. Tom Hanks was great and I cried at some moments.

Fred Rogers is everything that was right for the World. Tom Hanks was phenomenal as usual.

It’s not what you think, but good moral to the story and life. Tom Hanks is Mr. Rogers.

Must see if one is holding grudges.

The movie of the decade! A must see.

A lovely, inspiring film that captures Fred Roger's spirit and message.

so emotional. bring tissues

A true story that makes one re-examine their own relationships and reactions, as well as their own life focus.... offers great insight into the character and personality of Fred Rogers....

Mr. Rogers has so much wisdom and this film shows it

This was an amazing movie and story. Tom Hanks seemed so much like Mr. Rogers it was surreal. I think he deserves an Oscar nomination. I think he should win that nomination. I’d see it again.

I loved Mr. Rogers.

I really wanted to enjoy it but it's very very slow and not the story of mr. Rogers at all.

As usual Tom Hanks does a great job

Great

Watch it at home if you’re already having a miserable holiday

good job!

I cried 4 times

I would give it more stars if I had the option!!!

beautifully done! all the feelings I used to have when watching Mr Roger's Neighborhood when I was a kid, but with an adult perspective. Tom Hanks does a fantastic job. playing Mr. Roger's. This film leaves you feeling inspired to love more and more fully. We need more films like this!

Tom Hank is Mister Rogers. Amazing film!

The best movie of the year.

Tom Hanks was mr. Fred Rogers. The actor who played the reporter from Esquire magazine was also very good.

While A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is charmingly filmed (I loved the animated depictions of the toy Neighborhood, and the way Heller switches camera formats to give a more old-school portrayal of Rogers’ TV show), it didn’t quite have the emotional wallop I expected.

One is left wanting to know more about Mr. Rogers, but the film reduces him to little more than a kind of superhero family therapist.

As Mister Rogers, Tom Hanks does something very important, besides looking and sounding enough like Fred Rogers that we can accept him in the role. He captures the supreme self-confidence it takes to be that nice and giving.
