Catch Me If You Can

Pros: Wide Story Excellent Acting Excellent Directing
Cons: Complex film which may not appeal to all

I decided to rent catch me if you can because of the good reviews and recommendations I had heard. T ...

Pros: moves fast, good plot, interesting characters
Cons: a little long

I saw this movie by myself this weekend because my wife/kids wanted to see the Thornburrys. I didn't realize that the movie was almost 2.5 hours! My wife had to wait almost an hour for me to get out of this movie.

Although the movie was...

Pros: Great Performances, even story telling through out, crafted well
Cons: May not yet appeal to children under 8yo.

The next reviewer I read that says something is too long the instant it hits the magic two hour mark, I'm going to move that studios make a shortened, critics only version that will not challenge critics ability to pay attention for such clearly enormous...

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: Exciting and fun to watch unfold.
Cons: None from me. Tom Hanks accent.

Leonardo Dicaprio had proved once again he is a talented actor of his time. Playing the role of Frank Abagnale Jr he lies, cheats, and scams just about everyone he comes across. Christopher Walken plays Frank Abagnale Sr and we see that it is him his son...

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: Supporting cast, good (True) story
Cons: A little long

It's been a while since I've written any reviews, however, I thought this movie was so good, I had to write. Susan wanted to see a movie late yesterday afternoon and I knew what a fan she is of Tom Hanks, so I suggested we go see this in the newly...

Pros: great story, very good acting
Cons: credits and DVD menus

Summary: Frank W. Abagnale Jr. (Leonardo DiCaprio) is a young man in what he believes to be a very difficult situation - his father, Frank Abagnale, Sr. (Christopher Walken), is in trouble with the IRS and, as a result, his mother, Paula Abagnale ...

Pros: Entertaining movie, with hilarious moments, but....
Cons: overall it leaves you wanting more.

I found this movie to be excellent while in the theatre, but a bit disappointing once I left. The plot is good, and so is the acting, which is what one would expect with the a-list talent like Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Christopher Walken. It...

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: continuous and engaging flow
Cons: a bit long and predictable

With all of its faults, it was still an entertaining movie. Leonardo Dicaprio was convincing and fit his part. He seemed to mature and age subtly as the film progressed. Christopher Walken appeared in a smaller role as one of his usual portrayals, but...

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: Funny, suspenseful, and entertaining
Cons: A little more details in some areas

Steven Spielberg once again proves his movie genius in "Catch Me If You Can," the true story of Frank Abagnale Jr., the youngest person to ever be on the F.B.I.'s ten most wanted list.
By the age of twenty-one, Frank Abagnale had...

Pros: Fun from beginning to end
Cons: a bit long

This movie was fun from beginning to end. Starting with the opening credits, the movie takes you back to a different era. A time before the information age, where everyone knew everything about you, by looking up your credit report. It is a classic...

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...
