Steven Spielberg's adaptation of Frank W. Abagnale's autobiography CATCH ME IF YOU CAN follows the cat-and-mouse chase of Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) and FBI agent Carl Hanratty (Tom Hanks) as Abagnale travels the world passing forged checks and assuming false identities. Covering the time period from 1963-69, the film leaps from the suburbs of New York to Georgia, Louisiana, Miami, France, and the skies of Pan American airlines with Abagnale, who passes himself off as a pilot, doctor, lawyer, and socialite while constantly frustrating Hanratty's attempts to nab the increasingly cunning forger. CATCH ME IF YOU CAN finds Spielberg drawing on the father-son relationship that develops between Abagnale and Hanratty, filling a void left in the lives of each man: Abagnale's strained relationship with his tax-cheat father (Christopher Walken) and Hanratty's never-seen family left behind in the wake of a divorce. As Hanratty pursues Abagnale, their mutual admiration and respect grows, and finally they even come to rely on each other.

Based on a true story, an entertaining comedy about as teenager trying on different identities to see which one fits; at half-an-hour shorter, it would have been a better movie, but it will still leave you smiling.

Good but over rated.
Enjoyable but I was left thinking why it had such great reviews when it came out. It is worth a watch though.

Amy Adams' role in Catch Me If You Can plunged her into crisis - because she was upset that co-starring with Leonardo DiCaprio didn't launch her to superstardom. The 34 year old's film career failed to take off after the 2002 drama, despite critical praise. Adams reassessed her acting dreams after a series of failed projects followed her first major success as a seasoned actress.
