I am from the school that thinks an actor is only as good as those around him. What makes Hanks so good is that, even with NO ONE around him, as in Castaway, he can turn in such a stellar performance. Further, his ability to be believable across multiple genres is something few leading men can manage with such aplomb.

If time travel were possible, Jimmy Stewart would play Mr Rogers greatly.
Its really good. I really liked the behind the scenes info and how Mr Rodgers kind of changed how we look at child psychology and how we approach teachable moments with kids.

So true!
Cute movie but... not really.
I realized watching the movie yesterday there was a danger of interpreting Mr. Rogers along those lines, though. Many people now days are unfamiliar with the spiritual depth found in someone like Fred Rogers, perhaps because liberal mainline Protestant churches have dramatically declined in numbers and cultural prominence in the past 40 years or so.
