Pros: DiCaprio, Hanks, Spielberg. A very watchable movie.
Cons: Not much
As you may know, hubby is the entertainment director in our household. Most of the time he gets the right picks, and this case last Wednesday, was no exception. Besides, how wrong can you get, paying a mere 50 cents per movie ticket?
PLOT:...

by MrsNormanMaine - Top 1000, Jan 08 '03
Pros: Good performances. Interesting storyline.
Cons: Sags when it should zip. Occasionally takes itself too seriously.
The delectable Mr. Stryker finally called, asking me if I would like to come over to his home and help him with a rim job, as if I would understand auto mechanics. As the whole point of the relationship is a high profile publicity romance, I did not...

Pros: Cast does a terrific job in a breezy, fun flick.
Cons: Not exactly an important picture, if that troubles you.
The year 2002 has been a good one for me and movie watching. But it hasn’t been a good one for going to the theater. I’ve only seen two 2002 releases in theaters all these twelve months. In March I saw We Were Soldiers, which is a picture...

by jeff_wilder78 - Top 500, May 11 '03
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: 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...

by WulfsDen - Top 500, Jul 22 '06
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: Good performances, engaging, and fun
Cons: I had to sit really close to the screen
Crime doesn’t pay – unless of course you’re really good at it.
People have always delighted in the exploits of those individuals that flout convention (and the occasional law) often living vicariously through them. How else can...

by movie_critic , Dec 27 '02
Pros: story, comedy, several good actors
Cons: nothing to figure out, some will feel shortchanged
Leonardo DiCaprio has no trouble finding work, as “Catch Me If You Can” marks his second major movie release this week. Some people were disappointed with “Gangs of New York,” and some will find Steven Spielberg’s “Catch Me If...

by Sixthsense , Dec 29 '02
Pros: A very interesting story based on truth. Not a dull moment in this one.
Cons: Well, Frank Jr. was a con. :-)
And one of them came up smelling like a rose. This is the story of how Frank Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio, Titanic, Man In the Iron Mask) got started in the check "writing" business. If you can call it a business. It was for him anyway. It netted him...

by solohans1 , Jan 01 '03
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...

by tjmackey , Dec 25 '02
Pros: The film's overall breezy tone, Walken, Abagnale's life, the film's look...
Cons: A bit too breezy for me to warrant another viewing...is that bad?
I had nothing to do with my mother and younger brother this Christmas, so I suggested that we go see a movie. My mom isn't much into sci-fi/fantasy so that ruled out of lot of choices that would make me and my brother happy at that moment (since we...

by burningmoth , Dec 29 '02
Pros: Lightweight, fun, whimsical, joyful. Great cast and script.
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...

by jarvococker , Jun 03 '03
Pros: Unbelievable true story; great acting from DiCaprio, Hanks and Christopher Walken
Cons: Flashback structure isn't too effective
As I watched CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, Steven Spielberg's thoroughly entertaining romp of a film, I couldn't help but think that the movie glamorizes crimes depicted on the screen--in fact REVELS in them. But then again, doesn't "Ocean's 11?" Doesn't "The...

by neotech , Aug 02 '05
Pros: Great director well put together plot
Cons: none
Leonardo Dicaprio, I liked him in the beach and I think he is a clever actor generally. And I shouldn't forget Tom Hanks a mega actor. This I think was definitely a good choice of movie for both of them. Based on a true story about Frank William ...
