A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Tom Hanks plays Fred Rogers in a biopic that seems to want to give a bit more insight into the man in the neighborhood. There is not a lot new here, but this is told from the perspective of the journalist writing a puff piece on Rogers. It is a bit of a punishment for the journalist (ahem... investigative reporter) to be given this assignment and he sets out to find the "real" Mr. Rogers. The public persona just can't be real. But of course, it turns into a conversion story, with true and deep friendships being formed quicker than you can say Daniel Striped Tiger. If you want to feel good, this just might do it for you.
