A wonderful story of a children's television icon, Mister Rogers. It was well-played by Tom Hanks.

It's more about Mr Roger's powerfully mild attempt to "fix" one broken man's pain and anger, and in the process reveal the "living saint's" phenomenal social influence. Tom Hanks is good, but it's Matthew Rhys' expressive-eyed performance…

Equally disturbing and endearing.

I was expecting a biopic but we got something a little different. Instead of a movie about Mr. Rogers' life from beginning to end, we got a vignette about Mr. Rogers' positive affect on a journalist named Lloyd Vogel (Matthew Rhys). Tom…

Excellent story and portrayal of Mr Rogers. I didn't grow up watching him so it was very informative. What a wonderful outlook on life and living with others!

Loved this movie. We need to more people like Fred Rogers in this world.

A fictionalized story of how writer Tom Junod met and became friends with Fred Rogers. This very interesting story shows how the interviewer became interviewee, as Fred uses his compassion and gentle persuasion to make "Lloyd" take a…

Very good movie, a life lesson.

Framing this as an extended episode of the show was a bold choice that paid off brilliantly: this is therapeutic and calming, much like the show was for kids. Hanks delivers, and most of the rest of the cast do too, notably Cooper and…

Didn't expect this movie to be so therapeutic and gentle for the soul ... the one-minute exercise for gratitude drew me in as an active participant. Hanks did a great job.

What an amazing movie! I can't imagine anyone else but Tom Hanks playing this role. This movie takes place as an article of Mr Rogers is about to take place. Along with the interview a beautiful friend develops. For those of us who…

First off let me say that Tom Hanks embodied Fred Rogers. I can't think of another actor who could have pulled this off. The trouble is he is not on screen enough. The film mostly follow the character of writer Lloyd Vogel who is tasked…

A gentle movie about an iconic man. A risky role for Hanks, since everyone knew Mr. Rogers, but he did a beautiful job. A good tale about the power of taking responsibility for one's emotions, forgiveness, and what it means to be human.

Boring movie.

An excellent portrayal of Mr Rogers by Tom Hanks. One has to be a top actor to capture the true essence Mr. Rogers. A lesser actor would look like a fool.

This is some strange movie. Mr. Roger's always gave me the creeps when I was young. This movie didn't change that feeling. There is something weird about that man. The movie plods along and you wonder where it is going and I can't decide…

Although I was aware of Mr Rogers, I watched Sesame Street, Friendly Giant and Romper Room as a Canadian kid. When I got older, I remember thinking his show seemed low-budget and a little too saccharin. I fully believe Fred Rogers was a…

A lovely imaging of this real life friendship. Of course Mr. Rogers had his challenges, like we all do, but he had such a sweet, kind and understanding way of discussing life’s challenges with children. A miracle of a man. I too was too…

This movie was a surprise. That's a good thing.

I was too old when Mr. Rogers arrived on television + I actually found his bland voice annoying. I should have had more faith in the director, Ron Howard, to choose an engaging angle to the story. I enjoyed the film very much. Kristi &…

The film almost didn't mention Fred Rodgers military service as a Navy Corpman attached to a marine outfit. Long sleeves always due to tattoos on his forearms, as well as Capt. Kangaroo with Lee Marvin. Bit of a disservice to a veteran.

An interesting take on someone's life based on someone else's but that is typical U.S. thinking and the me mentality. Maybe his children will write about their dad someday.

Tom Hanks did a really amazing job portraying Mister Rogers! But the movie was 80% about a fictional version of a real journalist (with a fictional family dynamic)--it wasn't a bad movie, but I wish it had been 80% about Mister Rogers…
