“A Beautiful Day” acts as a two-hour episode of “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” for grown-ups, a meta-narrative showing the real world through a kids' show lens and Tom Hanks’ Rogers sitting us all down for an educational experience.
Brian TruittBe it the best or worst of times, Mr. Rogers’ lessons on kindness and understanding never waver in their importance, and that mindset fits Tom Hanks just as well as the TV icon’s cozy cardigan and canvas shoes.
Esquire writer Lloyd Vogel initially balks when he's assigned a “puff piece” on the Pittsburgh children's television favorite for an issue about heroes but ultimately accepts his fate.

Lloyd Vogel views the world of a children's show icon with skepticism in "A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood."Based on the real-life friendship between writer Tom Junod and the guy generations grew up watching, “Neighborhood” arrives a year after the excellent and uplifting documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?” captured what made Mr. Rogers so special.
