We watched Catch Me If You Can the other night and I have to say that I liked it very much. What I don't understand is why more wasn't made of this film when if was first released? It's directed by Spielberg, which is normally enough to over-enthuse people, plus it stars two of the biggest actors around today (Di Caprio and Hanks). It just wasn't hyped at all and therefore didn't really gain any attention. I think one reason for this is that it is not really a hype-able movie. It's not a blockbuster with massive explosions, it's not an epic and it's not a romantic comedy. It's just a well made, well acted movie with a great screenplay. It did receive a couple of Oscar nominations (for the music and for supporting actor, Christopher Walken), but perhaps deserved more.
Anyway, if you haven't seen it, I recommend it highly.

Agreed! And the fact that it is a TRUE story just adds that much more to it. Frank Abagnale Jr. has certainly lead what I would call an interesting life.
