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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

A MUST see movie!!! Loved It!

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

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

A wonderful story and an incredible man.

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

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.

As usual Tom Hanks does a great job

Reliving childhood memories

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.

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

Wonderful film. Really needed that.

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!

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.

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!

I love it!!!!!!

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

Excellent! We need more people like Mr Rogers

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!

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

Great story. Tom Hanks played Fred Rogers very well!

I enjoyed the movie. Tom Hanks portrayed Fred Rogers beautifully! My only complaint was I was a bit confused. I couldn't tell if the movie was about Mr. Rogers or Lloyd Vogel?

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

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

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

Nice and feel good movie. Gets a bit slow in the middle.

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.

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

so emotional. bring tissues

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.
