Catch Me If You Can (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition)

I watched this Steven Spielberg directed film when it first came out back in 2002. However, I have a list of movies I'm revisiting that I think my 17 year old son might enjoy.It's important to know that everything depicted in this movie isn't entirely accurate. That's why it says "inspired by true events" at the very beginning.Frank Abagnale has admitted that the movie "over dramatized and exaggerated some of the story". Despite that, even if just a small portion of what is depicted of Frank Abagnale's life is true, it's still a fascinating film.Plus, it's just a fun movie to watch. The on-screen chemistry between Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio comes across as two people who have a legitimate relationship that borders on being like a dysfunctional, yet loving, father and son.Watching the Abagnale character take on different personas throughout the movie really makes you realize that as long as you have the confidence and believe in what you're saying, other people will just accept it.Whether it's 100% accurate is irrelevant ... it's just an enjoyable film on its own based on how Spielberg transitioned between each event in Abagnale's life.Oh, and my 17 year old loved it ... just as I did the first time I watched it.

This is a great movie the whole family can sit down and enjoy. It’s based on true events and the acting is top notch.

Great acting. Hard to believe something like this is true, but it is.

I’m surprised that I just found this movie! Leo was and still is an amazing actor.It was very entertaining from start to finish. Lots of great actors graced the screen, I loved it.

Don't know how I missed this when it first came out years ago, because I'm a fan of Hanks and DiCaprio. The story is a somewhat unique premise and is based on the life of a master imposter and check forger, played by DiCaprio. Great acting, compelling characters, lots of action, and an unpredictable ending. This was fun, and I know I'll watch it again in the future.

This is the first movie I've been inspired to write and Ive watched a LOT of movies on here. The characters, the feeling, the storyline, the twists. SO so so so good! Enjoy!

Spielberg, shows us that you can not be stupid when you are working as federal agent.

Great Blue Ray DVD. Excellent quality and the movie of course is genius

Very good Movie

Il film mi è piaciuto in quanto tratto da una storia vera, e quindi riporta alla realtà il modo di arrangiarsi di certe persone

Good film

The film directed by Steven Spielberg is, if but loosely based on a true story telling of how a teenager Frank Abagnale (played in the film by Leonardo DiCaprio) after the breakup of his parents marriage, runs away and over a period of 3/4 years not only evades capture by the F.B.I, he manages to accumulate around $4 million by cashing cheques he has learned to forge.Initially Frank jnr. manages to con his way into becoming an airline-pilot cashing forged pay-cheques, the deception takes several weeks to surface bringing F.B.I agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) on the case of finding young Frank.However, changing his name frequently helps him stay one step ahead of his pursuers, even changing his profession along the way to that of a Doctor.Carl Hanratty will get close of several occasions to catching the young con-man, however, the teen remains alert to the threat.Young Frank will even try his hand at being a Lawyer and almost marry the boss's daughter.Frank's luck will eventually run out, but, he'll Kinda still have the last laugh.The film also stars Christopher Walken as Frank's father and Martin Sheen as his boss in the Law-Firm.A film I myself haven't watched for many years, had forgotten just how good and often amusing the film really if.....Until now.With a great cast line-up the film is certainly worthy of a revisit or indeed first viewing
