Catch Me If You Can

Pros: Hanks attempts new career direction
Cons: Over two hours of Leo alternating between smirking and sulking

"Catch Me If You Can" is primarily about 1) how all women are giggling idiots and 2) how famous movie directors are allowed to do whatever they want, however meager, especially if Big Stars are on board. It pretends to be about the real-life adventures...

Pros: None...not thought provoking
Cons: Too contrived. You can't identify with this guy.

I thought that this was a fairly outdated saga about someone that we really don't care much about. While I think the most interesting points are at the end of the movie (what the lead character has done to help prevent fraud), it was as a whole...

Pros: Great period detail, terrific performances from Hanks, DiCaprio, Walken
Cons: Wishy-washy script can't settle on tone; pacing suffers

Pros: A very interesting storyline based on a true story.
Cons: Slow moving. While the subject was interesting the pace was sluggish.

This movie was based on a true story. That in intself tends to get my attention. The things this man accomplished at a such a young age were astounding. My only problem was with the length and pace of the movie. Maybe it's the editing. I kept thinking...

Pros: Interesting
Cons: Can drag on.

Speilberg's rendition of this true story was made well. The movie was very interesting for the fact that a 19-year-old did all these things and it took a great deal of time before he was caught. Leonardo impressed me with the job he did in this movie....

Pros: Forget Titanic, this is Dicaprio's best role.
Cons: Starts slowly, picks up after 45 minutes.

“Catch Me if You Can” is as much about belonging and a sense of place as it is about fakery. Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) came from a loving, secure two-parent family but like an American dream crumbling was asked to make choices when...

Pros: Story, plot, parents, Leo.
Cons: Tom Hanks was Tom Hanks playing an FBI agent. Too long

The life story of a teen whose father taught him to make up a life story, and encouraged his son's charades is told with Spielberg directing, DeCaprio being the lead, and Hanks...was so utterly disappointing in his role as the chasing FBI agent, I can't...

Pros: Good Di'Caprio performance, even better Christopher Walken showing in a very interesting movie.
Cons: Tom Hanks, slow, lacking suspense.

The title promises a cat and mouse game of cops and robbers with excitement and suspense thrown in. The reality is somewhat different.

Catch me if you can is a pretty good film, I don't think that Spielberg makes bad ones often, but in my...

Pros: Leo is actually acting! Bravo! Walken is great!
Cons: Hank's accent... too too too too long!

All right, I don't review a lot of movies, mostly because I only see a few new movies a year and no one is going to read a review of a movie that came out two years ago!

Tonight I was invited by a friend to see a free screaning of this movie....

Pros: That's some pretty slick stuff he did.
Cons: Who cares?

Seems like all I've seen for the last week is hype around this Catch Me If You Can. First there was the preview. Then, a cardboard still set up in the movie theater, cleverly placed so that you see it on the way out, not in. (Ya know, so you...

Pros: Interesting story line, good cast of actors
Cons: A little far fetched even though based on a true story.

The plot of this movie is based on a true story, although I don't agree with the ending myself. The plot is based on a young man's life of crime, mainly bank fraud. This character is Frank Abagnale Jr., who is played by Leonardo DiCaprio. During his many...

Pros: Cast, art direction, score, opening credits
Cons: Overlong, too schmaltzy, somewhat underwhelming

Releasing his third film in eighteen months, celebrated filmmaker Steven Spielberg decided to take it down a notch, making a film that’s more lighthearted and accessible to mainstream audiences. The film is Catch Me if You Can, the story of...

Pros: Great movie to get you interested in check fraud.
Cons: This movie was incredable long and boring at parts.

This movie was a great movie show the main character going from place to place by making money off check fraud. This movie gives you a good idea about the time period and what people were like back then. This also shows the effects of a failing marriage...

Pros: Solid acting from both Dicaprio and Hanks...
Cons: Anticlimactic, flawed source material, not a good message for anyone...

On New Year’s Day, 2003, my wife went with her mom and sisters to see “Catch Me If You Can,” billed as a sort of chase-thriller-comedy starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks…and directed by Steven Spielberg. This combination had the potential to be ...

Pros: Overall good comedy and memorable characters.
Cons: The ending is a little too hokey.

Catch Me If You Can kind of caught me off guard. Seeing that it featured Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio in the lead roles and that Steven Spielberg was the man behind the camera I was expecting one of those male bonding movies featuring two adversaries...
