This was very different than what I thought it would be. I don’t think that’s good or bad. I think if they’d have done what I thought they would do, I’d have been disappointed—no matter how good it would’ve been. However they didn’t. It shifted to focus on someone else’s story.
But they didn’t do weird either. It was just introspective enough to be good, but it managed to not drag the story either.
Good choice of beginning and ending. I loved the inclusion of songs Fred Rogers wrote and the cameos—although I didn’t realize the cameos at the time—and, finally, it found an acceptable way of honoring Mr. Rogers without either over idolizing in a saccharin-sweet way or destroying the positive good he contributed to society.
