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.
Bring tissue.
I needed that 🥺
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.
Must see
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
the best movie I have seen this year and I saw all big movies that came out this year.
Wow. Just wow. Cried my eyes out, make sure to bring tissues.
Found it to be a very inspiring movie.
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.
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 really enjoyed this movie
A wonderful story and an incredible man.
Couldn't stop thinking about it.
Amazing and there isn’t enough stars for this movie.
A MUST see movie!!! Loved It!
Absolutely loved it! A beautiful story of the power of patience, kindness and forgiveness.
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.
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.
Reliving childhood memories
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.
The movie of the decade! A must see.
I cried 4 times
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.
Excellent! We need more people like Mr Rogers
It’s not what you think, but good moral to the story and life. Tom Hanks is Mr. Rogers.
I would give it more stars if I had the option!!!
we enjoyed the human side of a children's show star.
Great story. Tom Hanks played Fred Rogers very well!
Tom Hanks was mr. Fred Rogers. The actor who played the reporter from Esquire magazine was also very good.

Good to have you as my neighbor, Mr. Rogers!
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.
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.
Wonderful film. Really needed that.
Definitely thought it was more about Lloyd than Mr. Rogers.
A lovely, inspiring film that captures Fred Roger's spirit and message.
Growing up watch Mr. Rodgers took me back in time. Tom Hanks is a prefect fit for Mr. Rodgers!
Fred Rogers is everything that was right for the World. Tom Hanks was phenomenal as usual.
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!
I was pleasantly surprised with Beatiful Day. I really feel the writing was the overall best I have witnessed in several years. Well done.
Must see if one is holding grudges.
Metacritic
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.
