It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

Maybe you've already seen the documentary, "Won't you be my Neighbor," and think you've had enough Mr. Rogers to last for a lifetime.

Well, think again.

"It's a Beautiful Day," starring Tom Hanks, is not another Rogers doc. It's based on a touching real story about Esquire journalist Tom Junod's relationship with the saintly children's TV star. It began when Junod, known for his hard-hitting profiles, was assigned to write a feature on Rogers. A troubled and cynical young man, he expected (and hoped) to uncover some dark truths about the man who some called the "child whisperer."

As loyal readers know, the Movie Slut won't give away any more of the plot. She will say, however, that you should find some more room in your life for another Mr. Rogers' flick.
