There are few things in this world that everyone can agree on – some folks might have different opinions about the new Marvel movies, while others might voice their hatred on classic movie remakes. But there is one thing that almost everyone can agree on: everybody loves Mr. Rogers.
Credits are rolling. Sniffling and nose-blowing echo throughout the theatre. 😭 My favorite message shared in the film?
You don’t have to do anything sensational to be deserving of love. #WontYouBeMyNeighbor— Albert Lawrence (@alberttalks) June 10, 2018
So as people flood to see the new Mr. Roger’s documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor, it’s incredibly refreshing to look at people’s reviews and see nothing but inspiration and love.
I started crying when the trolley came out of its box. That was in the first ten minutes. #WontYouBeMyNeighbor

Since the movie came out on June 8th, the #WontYouBeMyNeighbor hashtag on Twitter has been filled with posts from adults who wanted to express their adoration for the biopic.
I’ve never heard the sound of so many people crying than just now at the screening of #WontYouBeMyNeighbor. What a special movie about a special man

The common theme amongst all of them? Everybody cried.
When I was five years old, I had two heroes: Spider-Man and Mr. Rogers.
I still dig Spider-Man. But my hero is Mr. Rogers. #WontYouBeMyNeighbor https://t.co/1FuTTLrKkI pic.twitter.com/N6DMCAMByJ

While the movie is only being released in select theaters over the course of the summer, people are still urging everyone to go as soon as they get the chance – and to bring a box of tissues.
Don’t know if I’ve cried more cathartic tears than I did watching #WontYouBeMyNeighbor. The entire theatre just sat there in awe as the credits rolled. Essential viewing. Take tissues. Throw some love out into the world. pic.twitter.com/ZKGKZf6y9f
