Message: [QUOTE="8893, post: 3378618, member: 93"] Watched [I][B]A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood[/B][/I] last night. Yet another movie that was very different from what I was expecting. I loved the recent documentary film about Mr. Rogers so much that I was hesitant to see a movie about him, with Tom Hanks no less, because I feared it would fall so far short of the execellent documentary. I had no idea that it is not a biopic, but rather a movie based on the true story of an [I]Esquire[/I] journalist who was sent to write a feature on him. Very cleverly done, and very well executed imo. Hanks is very good and the movie does an excellent job with restraint imo. I don't think it's Oscar worthy for Hanks or anyone else, but it is a very good watch that does a great job of conveying the essence of the man through this story. Cool that there was a cameo by the real Joanne Rogers, too. I'm sure she would not have been involved if she didn't believe in the movie. [/QUOTE]
