Catch Me If You Can

Pros: Clean, light, entertaining and fun! Great Saturday matinee.
Cons: Bends the truth for effect...but, what's new in Hollywood?

My husband and I went out on a double date to the amazing PF Chang’s, but the wait to get a table at the hopping restaurant was THREE HOURS!! No joke. So, we took our table-pager and went over to the movie theater behind the restaurant to pass the...

Cons: Probably won't win any Oscars. Too bad.

When word leaked out that Steven Spielberg was working with Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks on a film based on the real life of an interesting figure from recent history, Academy Award watchers likely stood up and took notice. After all, it’s no...

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...

Pros: acting, plot
Cons: no closure on Hanks's character

Okay, I’ll go right out and say it: Catch Me If You Can has little action by way of gunfights, fights, etc. If you want that movie, it’s called The Fugitive. But Catch Me is, I believe, a more intelligent movie. The emphasis is more on...

Pros: Great performances from Christopher Walken, Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks
Cons: A little slow at the start

Last week I had one of those terrible head colds that you sometimes get in summer, so I was reduced to lying on the couch, drinking tea with lemon and honey, and watching DVDs. Wulfette went to the library to pick up some more entertainment and so, of ...

Pros: Heart-rending scenes with Christopher Walken.
Cons: Does not go deep enough into the characters themselves, despite length.

Leonardo DiCaprio is Frank Abagnale, Jr. in a true story of a runaway turned counterfeiter and con artist. Frank leaves home the day he learns his parents are going to divorce, when he is forced to choose between them. At just 16 years old he goes on ...

Pros: Tom Hanks and (surprisingly) Leonardo DiCaprio
Cons: Christopher Walken = Loving father?

Catch Me If You Can is "the real story of a true fake"...at least, that's what the tagline is. However, what I found enticing about this movie was that the main character, while a con artist, didn't come across as fake at all. What I saw instead was a...

Pros: Hanks, Di Caprio, Walken... interesting plot for the most part, the end sequence is superb
Cons: Plot inconsistencies, downright stupid parts occasionally

Catch Me If You Can is the story of a conman who passed himself off as an airline pilot and paediatric doctor among other things, and a dogged FBI check fraud officer. Starring Leonardo Di Caprio in the role of the conman (Frank) and Tom Hanks as the FBI ...

Pros: Spielberg at his non-extraterrestrial best.
Cons: Spielberg.

Lately, the tons of commercialized driftwood passed off as cinematic art have gotten lodged in the stream of even the most callous film veteran's conscience. When something like this happens, there is traditionally a flood of a backlash of films with a...

Pros: Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Hanks, Steven Spielberg
Cons: Jennifer Garner's character, story falls a little flat in end

It is very hard for a director to make a truly great film today but it is even harder for a director ...

Pros: An Excellent, Stylish Comedy from Steven Spielberg.
Cons: Slow at Times & Tom Hanks' New England Accent.

With Hollywood mainstream films now getting more into style over substance, it is now becoming rar ...

Pros: Well acted interesting story based on a real person.
Cons: If you dig below the surface there's little to feel that good about.

This film is the fact-based story of a boy who tries to live out the life his father wanted. There i ...

Pros: Enjoyable Entertaining and Pleasant
Cons: impending doom

Catch me if you can was a good movie, I found it enjoyable and amusing. Every bit of it seemed believable. I think Leonardo did a good job with the acting in the movie, and seemed to fit the part just right. The movie is easy to follow, although you know...

Pros: Excellent portrayals
Cons: 30 minutes too long; Hanks' accent

At the start of CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, we see FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) come into a very dank prison, in 1969. In his hand, he has an extradition order which took him two long years to obtain; he has been ordered to escort the subject of the...
