  Reviews Catch Me If You Can This movie is actually worth watching. :) Tom Hanks as always was a delight to see and Leonardo wasn't annoying!
Yay for us, non-Leo fans. I think he has redeemed himself with his 2 recent movies (Gangs of NY and Catch Me) and we can now forget that he ever acted in the Titanic. Catch Me is a very light-hearted show, without any heavy drama a la Spielberg's last film, A.I. This mood is seen in the costumes, very pink-hued and the soundtrack as well.
I need not describe the plot, as it has been described to death in all the reviews found in the papers. In terms of acting, I think Spielberg did a good job in casting these 2 stars, as well as Christopher Walken as Frank Sr. The chemistry between the two main leads is obvious, which makes them more enjoyable to watch. If one wants to probe into the relationship dynamics of the show, then, Tom Hanks' character is the father figure that Frank Jr so desperately needs in his life. His own father, Frank Sr, hardly gives the boy the discipline that he craves. "Tell me to stop," cries Frank Jr. "I can't," says Frank Sr.
While the movie glosses over the exact reason why Frank goes on his conning spree, one can assume it is due to the breakup of his family and his desire to "get everything back" so that his family would be together again. This is unfortunately very idealistic and in the end, things of course, don't turn out as planned. A tidbit: The real Frank Abagnale made a cameo appearance as one of the French policemen. Rating: I'd pay $7.00 to watch it.
