The only reason I saw this movie was because a friend wanted to go to it. I wasn't really interested in it. There's a weird, cult-like thing going on with Mister Rogers (much like RBG), which I don't really get, and that's probably why this movie got made so quickly after the documentary.

Mister Rogers wasn't really the main character, the main character is a rando reporter named Lloyd. Mister Rogers basically helps the dude get through stuff. Some of it's kind of trippy, and a little depressing. Tom Hanks does well as Mister Rogers, and Matthew Rhys is really entertaining as Lloyd.

Honestly, this was a movie that wasn't strictly necessary, when the excellent documentary exists. If you're part of the cult of Mister Rogers, you'll probably love it. I, on the other hand, a casual fan of the dude thought it was good, but not mind-blowing.
