This movie is likely to mean absolutely everything to viewers of a certain age. If you grew up watching Mister Rogers, circle October 18th, 2019 in your calendar. You're going to want to see this.
The almost-too-good-to-be-true Fred Rogers is played in the film by Tom Hanks, which is an inspired choice. You may wonder how a movie about Mister Rogers could be made, and the answer lies in the story of a journalist assigned to do a piece on Mister Rogers, setting out with the cynical intent of exposing him as a hypocrite and a fraud. What he finds is a man who is every bit as warm and kind as his television persona, and the meeting will change his mindset, and his life, forever. This is the sort of movie that sets out to warm your heart and inject a bit of magic into your life, and all signs point to it achieving exactly that.
