Although not a true story, as a film it comes together really well. I even loved Mr. Rogers even though I have no childhood connection to him. Tom Hanks' performance is outstanding, a very well put together film, and a good watch, especially for people with family problems :)

This was mostly unnecessary due to timing. The Fred Rogers doc that came out a year prior to this said all that was needed to be said. Was it not sufficient for the movie going public? Maybe America's go-to everyman Tom Hanks can fake Mr. Roger's good natured kindness for an hour and 49 minutes to help spell it out for us.

You probably need to have some kind of connection to Fred Rogers or at least know who he are/was to appreciate this. Nice acting but an utterly dull story.

Flirting with the idea of being Mister Rogers wholesome on the same day I called a stupid driver a blind cunt. Tom Hanks brings layers to this wonderful man.

Serviceable, but probably not effective to those who didn't grow up with Mr. Rogers as a regular part of their day-to-day childhood. Hanks does a good job, and this is likely to be the best-directed film of 2019 that just didn't click with me. I wasn't bored, but I wasn't especially moved.

Mediocre and with nothing much of interest to offer, aside from some cute establishing shots done with miniatures. The asshole main character doesn't give a shit about his dad because his dad is just like Earl Partridge from Magnolia, but Mr Rogers informs him about the virtues of forgiveness -- gee, I wonder what's going to happen! This portrayal of the delightful Mr Rogers makes him seem a bit like an aloof alien, with no dynamism to his inner feelings until the very last scene.

In spite of being a bit unusual, it is still probably the feel-good movie of 2019.

"A Beautiful Day In The Neighborhood" is a heart warming movie with wonderful acting by Tom Hanks. The whole movie is like an actual episode of "Mister Rogers Neighborhood". "A Beautiful Day" is sure to bring back childhood memories for those who grew up watching the TV show. Hanks is soft spoken, kind and gentle like the real Fred Rogers, in one of the great acting performances of the year. It's just too bad the movie is mostly about Lloyd Vogel and less about Mr. Rogers.

Take away the occasional overacting by both Hanks and Rhys, and I think this is quite literally just shy of masterpiece. I was unprepared for how easily this movie would strum my heartstrings - in retrospect, I shouldn't have been so surprised. Subtlety personified with flashes of immense strength. I loved how there were some truly unlikable characters who received satisfying redemptive arcs. This was some masterful and unorthodox storytelling that felt authentic to its time and its protagonist.

It's hard not to be moved by the actions of someone who truly does behave like a saint. (Sorry, Mrs. Rogers, but even therapists regularly vent to someone & don't behave anything like this off-duty.) The film (& Fred) fails to explain exactly how he manages his self-imposed burden (piano & swimming won't cover it) or his motivation, so maybe it's really about religious commitment. Of course liberals don't want to go there, so it was very shrewd to make the bulk of the movie about someone else.

A beautiful day at the movies with Tom Hanks and also Matthew Rhys (loved him from The Americans and he is actually more of the focus of this movie). Though Hanks will probably be nominated, Rhys was equally good.

About half the time Tom Hanks seemed to embody Mr. Rogers but the other half he seemed to be winking at the audience or something. Any scene with "Rogers" was good and any scene without didn't really interest me much.

My reticent decision to see this movie was as complicated as it was for the journalist who was assigned to do a 400 word puff piece on Mr. Rogers for Esquire. The article ended up being a 10,000 word cover story. But the movie focuses on their characters and nature of their friendship rather than their backgrounds, especially regarding the journalist whose name was changed for that reason. The drama is genuine. The scene in the subway, which I thought surely was made up, turns out to be factual.

Goddammit movie, stop making me feel so warm and fuzzy. One of the more interesting "biopics" I've seen thanks to its unique structure, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood benefits from sincere sentiment and heart, the most perfect casting of the decade in Tom Hanks as Fred Rogers, and excellent direction from Marielle Heller that immerses the viewer in the world of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.

It starts out strong with some interesting hooks on Mr. Rogers, but the film ignores this and makes him a secondary character to what is boring, stock family drama. It's a shame, too, because the film does bring up interesting questions about Rogers' character that don't go anywhere and Hanks pulls off the character perfectly. If the film was actually about Mr. Rogers, it would have been potentially far better but instead we got generic tripe instead. Oh well.

Not everything works and Mr. Rogers comes off as somewhat caricatured at times (although the final scene nicely peels a layer back), but A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is touching and humane and lovingly boasts the impact of personal investment and intentional kindness.

Allowing the aesthetics of Mr Roger’s show shape the form and content is what elevates this from the standard biopic (easy to compare it to End of the Tour but this is where it differs). The scene in the Chinese restaurant will stand as one of the boldest, most powerful moments in recent mainstream cinema. Heller is a gifted director and her vision is singular. Hanks, Rhys, and Cooper deserve any possible accolades. All emotions feel earned. Beautiful last scene as an end note (pun intended).

This hit me right in the McFeelies. Honestly I teared up a few times. Would have been more effective if it had been a Mr. Rogers biopic instead of focusing on a nearly 100% fictional family drama of an anonymous reporter.
