Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This movie touched me deeply. It surprised me because I was expecting a chronicle of Mr. Roger's life, but instead it was not that at all--it is the story of how Mr. Rogers changed one man's life for good. This method of storytelling is very effective because it helps us learn by example. By watching this movie, I was able to see how important it is to care for the one. I also learned how critical it is to really listen with complete and sincere attention to the other person, and that this can be more vital than any other service we can possibly give another human being, no matter what their age. I learned that Mr. Rogers was not a perfect man, but he found ways to deal with anger and frustration in a positive way. All of these lessons, and many more, are depicted throughout this wonderful movie. It made me think about how much better the world could be if we would all focus on helping others in a personal way. Practically everyone is dealing with some issue from their past. Fred Rogers wanted all to know that there is so much good in people. He also stressed that your circumstances do not define you--you have so much to offer because you are unique. This movie shows that if we believe in the good in others, that good will indeed manifest itself. I would recommend this movie to anyone ages 12 and up, due to some mature issues, like family problems (and how to deal with them). You will feel changed at the end of this movie. Indeed, it provides much food for thought, and could be a catalyst for great discussions on its topics.
