Sweet, loveable and hokey.

Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half*

Rated: PG

Starring: America’s sweetheart (Tom Hanks) playing America’s sweetheart (Mr. Rogers)

Plot: A cynical journalist (Matthew Rhys) is tasked with writing an article on beloved television star Fred Rogers (Tom Hanks).

Tanya’s Verdict: This movie is well done – from its acting to the way it unfolds to the Mr. Rogers-esque effects to the themes it represents. Society needs a movie with messages like this one – now more than ever. Messages like the importance of compassion and forgiveness and living in the present.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is sweet and loveable in the same way that Mr. Rogers is. It’s also a tad hokey – but again – we’re talking about Mr. Rogers here.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood is a nice family movie – that is loosely based on real events – although truth be told – my youngest child (aged 9) was a tad bored.
