Catch Me If You Can (2002)

Good movie but grossly overrated

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I know it by heart and it is still equally awesome with each new viewing. The cast is excellent. It's hard to tell who's better.9/10

I got this at a garage sale, and I am so glad that I did! While to beginning may seem slow at first, this incredible true story of a minor who frauds over millions of dollars while gaining 3 careers. I was enthralled with it my first time and spent MONTHS telling about it to nearly all who crossed my path. I saw it with a friend and he loved it too. Recently, at tech school, I brought it to show my class and they ALL thought it was the bomb! A classmate asked me the next day if he could borrow it to show it to a friend. The disadvantage to showing it in class was yapping their lips: "Oh, is this going to happen?' "How did he escape that plane bathroom?" blah blah blah-and they would know if THEY WATCHED THE DANG MOVIE AND SHUT THEIR TRAPS! So shut yours and witness this modern masterpiece, and let it play out-and do not miss it!

This cat-and-mouse crime caper casts DiCaprio as a young con-man and Hanks as the FBI guy on his tail and is a wonderfully entertaining, excitingly detail-oriented and generally fun affair throughout, with several seriously suspenseful sequences scattered about the pacy yet eclectic narrative and some properly funny moments perforating a generally light but appropriately weighty tone. 'Catch Me If You Can (2002)' is well-made and enjoyable throughout, the kind of flick to put a smile on your face and keep it there. It's got a killer score and an even better script, with smart callbacks and sneaky foreshadowing aplenty. The piece represents some of the best work that Spielberg has ever done - and that's saying something. 8/10

This movie simply combine all the factors of a successful movie, like talented actors, great directing, fascinating 60's scenes, catching story and happy ending.I believe this movie should remain in the memory of everyone who watches it, and it has to be watched by every interested person in movie making. The brilliance of Spielberg meets the talent of DiCaprio and Hanks to come out with that masterpiece.You will enjoy each and every aspect of that movie, you can watch it in whatever mood you are in, and still you will see the beauty in it. You may even watch it more than once and you will never get bored of it.Finally, watch it now.
