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

Bring tissue.

I needed that 🥺

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

Found it to be a very inspiring movie.

Great

I was pleasantly surprised with Beatiful Day. I really feel the writing was the overall best I have witnessed in several years. Well done.

good job!

Brought tears to my eyes.

Despite the marketing, this is not ideal for kids, they will be bored out of their mind. My kids thought it was just uncomfortably awkward and slow. That said, it’s a Great movie with great message, but better suited for older audience. Tom hanks nailed it.

Tom Hank is Mister Rogers. Amazing film!

Couldn't stop thinking about it.

Brought back lots of childhood memories. Tom Hanks was fantastic! Wonderful, heartfelt movie.

I watched this movie and was instantly transformed into a little girl. Tom Hanks is Mr. Rogers

This movie made me want to be a better person.

Very condescending and corny. Tom Hanks needs to shave his eyebrows

Tom Hanks was very good and believable as Mr Rogers but movie is slow and predictable.

I cried at least 12 times. Tom Hanks did an amazing job portraying Fred!

It wasn't quite what I expected and that's okay. This movie is about how one person can make a difference. Life is messy and to quote Ellen, we should be kind to one another. This movie exemplifies how one individual's kindness influenced someone in unexpected ways. Two thumbs way up.

A MUST see movie!!! Loved It!

Brought back good memories of Mr. Rogers and showed his human side and his love for humanity.

I really enjoyed this movie

A wonderful story and an incredible man.

Would of been 5 stars except mr. rogers wasn’t on the screen enough. At the same time its ok because I cried every time he was on the screen. Great flick.

Amazing and there isn’t enough stars for this movie.

Reliving childhood memories

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

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.

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

Best movie I think I’ve ever seen! Can not recommend this movie high enough... everyone needs to see it!

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

Amazing! Would watch it over and over. A real life hero vs. a make believe one from another planet or a spider bite...I like all kind of heroes (real or not), but this all human one TOPS ALL!

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

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

The movie of the decade! A must see.

Excellent! We need more people like Mr Rogers

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is no biopic but a very narrowly cast reimagining of one specific relationship late in the life of a noted person.

Slate

It’s as cosy as Mr Rogers’ trademark zip-up cardigan, but the sweetness of this film about the beloved US children’s television personality is tempered by the inventive eccentricity of its approach.

There’s no question that Hanks is perfect in the part, as the actor’s amiability and unquestionable sincerity make for an ideal match with the unique television personality. Marielle Heller's film itself, however, is a rather more modest achievement, sympathetic and yet entirely predictable in its dramatic trajectory of making a believer of an angry, cynical journalist.
