   Summary: scamming & scheming for fun & profit
if not for the miscasting of leonardo dicaprio in the lead role this could well have been a near-great movie. unfortunately leo (who i will admit does look better here than at any time since "titanic") gives yet another of his oh so obvious acting jobs: his attempt at a suburban new york accent is as painful as his vocal tricks in "gangs of new york" -- where does this guy get off trying this stuff, as if he were a classically trained brit actor? now to the good: tom hanks offers his most ingratiating performance in years (ever since he started to specialize in being tom hanks) as the sullen fbi agent who tracks down master forger leo; christopher walken is at his wierd best as the fallen idol father; the john williams score grabs you from the opening and never lets go. while the story requires a bigtime suspension of disbelief, it IS fun to imagine someone getting away with some of this stuff (as skewed thru the young mans eyes) rather than the reality of the desperation which compelled him to live his decade on the run.

   Summary: Terrific fun plus more
I avoided this movie for a long time, thinking it was a grim cops-and- robbers crime thing. Well, it is a crime thing and Tom Hanks is the cop (FBI) and Leo DiCaprio is the robber. But it's anything but grim! Speilberg chose to tell this story, which could have been tragic. in a completely light hearted way. The only terrible scene is in the beginning when DiCaprio is languishing in a French prison. From there on, it's all up. The colors are bright, the atmosphere is light. And yet there's a lot of depth to it, as well. It talkes a really good director to pull it off so well.

First of all, the story is amazing! We all know it's true; no one would make something like that up! Then, the cast is all-star! DiCaprio shines as a complex, tortured kid who is, at the same time, having the time of his life! The relationships are touching and so well handled. Christopher Walken is superb as the dad. Tom Hanks plays the 'alternate" father---as serious and humorless as the first one was charming and irresponsible. Hanks, DiCaprio and Walken, directed by Speilberg, in this terrific story---how can you miss?

The DVD I saw had a bonus disk with great extras---including lots of footage of the original Frank Abegnale. After seeing the movie, I really wanted to see the real deal and he is obviously quite the guy!

   Summary: entertaining and intelligent
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is definitely one of the most entertaining and intelligent films I have seen in a long time. This is based on the real life story of the life of Frank Abagnale, Jr. A con man who impersonated an airline pilot, doctor and lawyer, all before the age of 21. He came by it honestly because his father was a businessman and con artist, who helped teach him everything he knew.

Leonardo DiCaprio is boyishly handsome, engaging and diabolical as Frank Abagnale, Jr. Due to an unfortunate turn of events in his life (which I won't elaborate on, to spoil the plot), the young man turns to a life of pulling con job after con job, at just age sixteen. Not only does he manage to make close to $2.5 million, but he finds love, fame and notoreity in the public eye, all the while eluding the advances of Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks), an FBI investigator hot on his trail.

This film is intelligent, original and just superb (from the very engaging title credits, down to the intriguing conclusion). You will definitely be entertained.......

   Summary: Catch me if you can
I ordered the movie for my father for christmas and when he opened it, the dvd was worped and would not work, so I am going to try and send it back but we live in oklahoma and I live in Tulsa and my father lives in another town. The problem is we have had a big ice storm and we have not been able to get together since christmas and he did not discover the problem until i had returned back to tulsa,so just one of those things but hopefully I can return it thanks for asking Sally Robertson
