Mr. Rogers' life was indeed quite fascinating! His biography The Good Neighbor describes a unique and innovative man (it's my top pick for non-fiction book I've read this year).
I'm interested in seeing both the documentary and the movie.

I won't go to see the movie, not a Tom Hanks fan. I always thought Mr. Rogers was creepy, but I respect how accomplished he is.

The film is actually based upon and focused on a journalist who interviews Mr. Rogers, his life subsequently changed.
Mr. Rogers is considered a secondary character, although Hanks is billed as the star due to box office. It is expected he would be placed in Oscar competition in the supporting category.

I adore(d) Mr. Rogers and have an interest in this movie; I very much enjoyed the documentary. However, I'll most likely wait to see the movie on TV.

A Mr. Rodgers fan here, both as a child and then a parent. However, I agree that I would have liked to see Jim Parsons as Mr Rogers rather than Tom Hanks. Although, I am a TH fan and think he's an amazing actor. Parsons, to me, resembles Rogers more. I also think he would have done a good job with the part.
As others have said, I'll wait for the film to be on tv and watch it then. jMHO

IMO Tom Hanks is very good at his craft and there are very few things I have seen him in that I disliked. I may wait for the film to come to internet , but will most likely watch sometime. DH & I just recently watched his portrayal of Walt Disney in the movie 'Saving Mr. Banks'. We liked that , and were skeptical at first that we would enjoy it , but we did !
As to Mr. Roger's I have observed crazy, wild little kids calm down and pay close attention to Mr. Rodgers in the day .

'Won't You Be My Neighbor' is a terrific documentary- it made me appreciate all that Mr Rogers accomplished in his life. His show was never 'must see' viewing but looking back now, as an adult, he made such a difference in the world. And he appreciated Eddie Murphy as well!!
I'm looking forward to the Tom Hanks movie.

I've read some books on Mr. Rogers. But although I enjoy TH in movies, he is just not Mr. Rogers. I think when people know the main character, it loses something in a movie on that person.

@Pearlee @ms traditional
Like you I enjoyed the real documentary, "Won't You Be My Neighbor" and have no interest in seeing this Tom Hank's version of Mr. Roger's life.......

It opens here the end of this week coming up. We already got our tickets. And I read that its more about his friendship with the journalist that writes about him. And I think Tom Hanks is perfect for the part. At any rate, DH and I are seeing it. (And i wasn't a big fan of his tv show, but I admire who he was and how he cared about children and all the good he did),
