Pros: Includes humor drama and action Cons: Long and thats it.
I would have to say this is one of the best movies of it genre that I have ever seen. It a a cat and mouse game and the mouse is always one step ahead. Leonardo Decaprio plays a runaway who has decided to make his fortune writing fraud checks. He is...

Pros: Spielberg directed, funny soundtrack and plot fun to follow. Based on true story. Cons: zero: Spielberg directed.
This was a fun movie to watch and I enjoyed the suspense of trying to figure out what Frank Abagnale(Leonardo DiCapprio) was going to do next and if he would get out of the mess he got himself into.
The amazing story, although only loosely...

Pros: Fast, fun, full of life. Cons: Does not follow the book
I found the movie very fast paced and just a lot of fun. Hanks, Dicaprio, and Walken are a blast to watch. Well worth the wait of not seeing pretty boy Leo on the screen for two years. He may be 28, but that baby face can still pull off the charm and...

Pros: storyline, actors, plot Cons: not a single thing
All I can say is WOW! I cannot believe this movie was a true story. It's truly amazing how someone, and a 16 year old at that, could get away with all this. Frank Abagnail was very determined to make himself a perfect life, and if he couldn't...

Pros: great performances, clever, fun Cons: not enough Walken
Poor Leonardo DiCaprio. It must be hard to go from the most popular guy in Hollywood to the laughingstock is just months. Leo was a victim of his own success, grinning out from king-size posters, whispering fervently on that annoyingly spoilerific ...

Pros: An Amazing story in its own right; well told Cons: The undeveloped love affair
When a director takes a purely entertaining film one step further, artfully posing deeper questions that roll around in my mind the next day, it deserves a five-star rating.
Catch Me If You Can, directed by Steven Spielberg, is one of...

Pros: Entertaining, fairly clean, humorous, honest Cons: Portrays a criminal as a hero, if you want to moralize
Well, I had my hopes up for this one, and Spielberg has not let me down again.
This is, as you may be aware, the story of one Frank Abagnale, Jr, who went on the run at 16 with $10 in his pocket and $25 in his checking account, and out of...

Pros: Leo and Tom of course! The story. The acting. The costumes/music. Cons: Perhaps not enough analysis/emphasis on Frank's feelings, his motives.
This movie is pure fun, from the animated opening credits to the comically ironic ending. It's really an undemanding movie - just sit back and enjoy the ride. Spielberg adapted this movie from a true story about a clever, slick and handsome teenage con...

Pros: Lighting, Williams's score, Hanks, Walken, Based on a true story, ect. Cons: Jennifer Garner's role seems pointless, my Hitchcock nod in the title.
During the final third of Steven Spielbergs latest film "Catch Me If You Can", Christopher Walken says, "They got the cake but they also wanted the crumbs." His character may be talking about the I.R.S. but this statements might as well be the...

Pros: Action and comedy packed Cons: A little lengthy
Be sure to see this film in the theater, or you might regret it. The colors and throw back to the 60s is incredible. There is so much energy in this movie you leave feeling like you're ready to 'take on the world'. Leo and Tom have great chemistry and...

Pros: Entertaining, good acting, kept me interested Cons: none
I was sad to see this movie end, it definitely kept my interest, despite the length of the movie. DiCaprio was a great actor. The movie makes you laugh from the very beginning, and the fact that it is based on a true story makes it so much more...

Pros: Tom Hanks, Great scene design and editing Cons: A little bit of a slow starter.
Being a cheap skate usually, I dont often get to the theater for a movie.
This weekend I finally broke down and went with a friend to see a movie.
We discussed and compared notes and we decided on...
