Tom Hanks portrays Mister Rogers in A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, a timely story of kindness triumphing over cynicism, based on the true story of a real-life friendship between Fred Rogers and journalist Tom Junod. After a jaded magazine writer (Emmy® winner Matthew Rhys, 2018 Best Actor in a Drama Series, The Americans) is assigned a profile of Fred Rogers, he overcomes his skepticism, learning about kindness, love and forgiveness from America’s most beloved neighbor.
An award-winning cynical journalist, Lloyd Vogel, begrudgingly accepts an assignment to write an Esquire profile piece on the beloved television icon Fred Rogers. After his encounter with Rogers, Vogel's perspective on life is transformed.

ANOTHER TIMELESS CLASSICI did grow up to this and like so many others on pbs,seseme street,ect...they were very important in many lives.Electric Ave.. i believe was the other one on pbs. Iknow when i was sick and home from school,all the classics like A home school day and they made all with a vibe to make learning fun. For me Mr. Rodgers was the man who would come home in the Afternoon and get comfortable, and with his amazing ways of using the train, getting to know people, getting to know what their job entaled,and one more important thing was checking up on friends and that was like a social aspect to his great craft. Mr. Kangeroo,Uncle Al, all played a part in my life. people want to make fun and mock what they do not understand and also what they fear......Mr. Rodgers never failed at helping me!!!!!!!!!!! If only today they had the kind of things i grew up too, my belief is it would be a better world. It still can be if people did more of one on one reading,teaching,social skills and the internet is not a replacement for education by yourself.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.Score: 5/5

Quiet and SweetThat about sums this movie up. It’s an unassuming movie about an unassuming man who quietly influenced generations of us. If only we could all live up to the example he set as adults. Fred Rogers was awarded the Medal of Freedom later in his life. HE deserved it..Score: 5/5

Great !Even though I had a bit of a problem through the movie seeing Fred as apposed to Tom, it was still really nicely portrayed. Well developed characters that you feel for and want to relate to..Score: 4/5
Christian LincKingAmazing and a most watch movie. Very deep and educational, I’ve loved everything about the movie and I will definitely watch it again and again and again because it was not boring nor too literal or anything that can make a movie be distasteful. I have appreciated the time I took to watch it. This is what we have to expect of a movie talking about someone life or life achievement, a well detailed story taking about what was impactful or meaningful and not a waste of time in some random subject. Well done!!!.Score: 5/5

"A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood"From the first frames of his appearance, Tom Hanks's performance is uncanny; uncanny like how children who start spontaneously speaking Latin or vomiting pea soup are uncanny. He has all the mannerisms down but there is something deeply off about his performance throughout. Maybe it is the clash of Tom Hanks's and Fred Rogers's personas. I don't know; there is just something very wrong about *anyone* playing Mister Rogers. It might have even been better if they brought Fred Rogers back with CGI. Beyond Hanks's performance, the film asks us to play a game that is little fun and maintain suspension of disbelief through unlikely premises and poor characterization. Based on what the audience is shown, Vogel (Matthew Rhys) would never have made it as a journalist. He could have written a four hundred word article without talking to Fred Rogers. (This review is likely longer than four hundred words.) Most of the film's drama is contrived and it shows—the film's conflicts do not rely enough on dialog (its dialog is poorly constructed) to have the verbal potency of "Indignation" (2016), and not enough on physical action to have the physical potency of "Five Easy Pieces" (1970). What is doubly sinful about the poor screenwriting is how good the rest of the production is; this crew could have remade Ed Wood Jr.'s movies and made those look good. I particularly like the first overhead shot of Vogel lying on his bed: the deep green check of the pillows, the subtler army green check of his shirt, and the warm lighting of his face is sublime. In another shot, in Rogers's studio, after Vogel has passed out, the lights hang from the pipes like constellations. The film's ending is ''heartwarming" but it also rings as untrue. Unlike Mister Rogers's program, this movie shies away from the real lasting effects of hurt and pain underlying its characters' feeling. Its entire approach is surficial, and that is a shame because Matthew Rhys and Chris Cooper are such good actors; "A Beautiful Day in the Neighbourhood" could have been superlative if their story was divorced from Hanks's, and Cooper was given a bigger role with more depth. Even removing the real Rogers from the film and replacing him with Vogel's imagined Rogers—the ones from the well-done dream sequences—would have been an improvement. That movie, I would like to see. —2.5 Stars, for costuming, lighting, set design, and performance..Score: 3/5

Quite boringI guess I didn’t know what to expect but what I watched was quite boring and I had a tough time making it to the end. I did not know about the backstory Esquire article and thought it would be more of a biography film. In actuality the film is about a magazine writer the impact his relationship with Fred Rogers had on his life and his relationship with his family..Score: 2/5
Great storyImagine what the world would be like if we all did the work to really attend to the person in front of us... If Mr. Rogers taught us anything it was to know this is possible and, as the closing song says - "we can do it" :) Thank you to Tom Hanks for taking this on!.Score: 5/5
