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: This isn't a feel-good movie, it's a feel-great movie. Cons: Normally brilliant Tom Hanks is a disappointing throwaway here.
“To Tell The Truth” – a fitting game show to open the story of the one of the world’s best liars. To tell the truth – a daunting task for a filmmaker trying to adapt this story. According to the credits, Catch Me If You Can is based...
A true story about Frank Abagnale Jr. who in the 60's during the age of 16-21 robbed many banks across the U.S and the world , became a Pan Am co-pilot, a pediatrician, a lawyer and his school teacher.< p> The movie begins with Frank Abagnale ...
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: Taking a cue from the younger directors, Spielberg shows how its done.
Cons: Spielberg's gliding waltz to the side could be seen as a digression.
Grasping onto the shirttails of Minority Report, which just hit DVD two weeks ago, after its theatrical release on June 21st; Catch Me If You Can is not only a film just as good visually and structurally, Spielberg does the latter one...
Pros: Good, clean fun. Cons: Tom Hanks' voice. Kidding.
Note: This review was originally written December 30, 2002.
It had been a while since Steven Spielberg made a "light-hearted comedy adventure". I think the last one came in 1997 with his below average follow-up to Jurassic Park, called...
Pros: Fun story, Leo does a good job Cons: Retro-ending
Directed with admirable restraint by Spielberg, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is a fun holiday movie that stars Leonardo DiCaprio in the title role of true life teen con artist Frank Abagnale Jr. and Tom Hanks as FBI agent, Carl Hanratty.
Pros: Great period detail, terrific performances from Hanks, DiCaprio, Walken Cons: Wishy-washy script can't settle on tone; pacing suffers
I love caper movies (good ones, anyway), and Catch Me If You Can held a lot of promise for me. A definite A-list cast with names like Tom Hanks and Leo DiCaprio, and directed by the master himself Steven Speilberg, this looked like a sure-fire...
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: educational, some comic relief, some action, interesting, keeps you thinking Cons: duration time is to long, slow begining, and boring moments.
On Jan. 22, 2003, I went, with the excitement of a turkey on its way to the slaughter house on Thanksgiving Day, to see 'Catch Me If You Can'. I really wasn't looking forward to watching a movie who's promos did not interest me, and who was so focused...
Pros: Visually captures the feel of the 60's. Christopher Walken. Cons: The movie is a bit long.
Based on the true life story of conman Frank Abagnale this movie wonderfully captures the feel of the late 60's. Directed by Steven Spielberg, the premise of the movie does seem to be pretty farfetched. In the movie Leonardo DiCaprio plays Abagnale who...
Pros: Excellent performances. The movies atmosphere Cons: Doesn't get the surprising climax you might expect.
First of all, I'm not a real Dicaprio fan. Most of the time I think he's miscast. A good example is perhaps this films biggest box-office-enemy: "Gangs of New York" , Dicaprio was completely miscast. True my epinion it felt like he was the totally wrong...
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: Excellent production values Cons: Nothing worth mentioning
CATCH ME IF YOU CAN is, as you probably heard by now, the memoirs of real-life con man Frank Abagnale, who cut a very impressive swath in the 1960s, when he was barely voting age. Leonardo DiCaprio is Abagnale, Tom Hanks plays Carl Hanratty, the FBI...
