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.

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.

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…

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.

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.

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.

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…

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.
