Catch Me If You Can

[vinzclortho]

The movie came out a few years ago, and I've owned it for a while but I dug it out of the recesses of my dvd collection and watched it last night and damn, it's good! Can't say I'm a huge Leonardo Dicaprio fan but he's great in this movie.

Tom Hanks is amusing as the FBI agent assigned to catch Frank Abignale, Leo, who forges millions in checks, convinces people he's a doctor a pilot and becomes an assistant DA in Georgia all before he's 19 years old. Oh he also substititue teaches his own french class in high school...

"People only know what you tell them."

Great, fun movie. Give it a rent.

When it comes to Leo, you really have to try and forget about Titanic and realize he is amazing.

I hate Leo and Hanks, and remember it as being a good movie even with both of them.
Not that I wanted to own it, but worth the rental fee.

If you get the chance read the book, it's even better (more detail more stories).

I liked the movie, despite my dislike to Tom Hanks.

My dad, who I didn't know well at the time, gave me this book when he took me and my brother on a cross country car trip when I was 10 years old. I read it so fast and then read it again, it made a huge impression on me. The father son connection in the book is cool, the lessons of your life being whatever you make it, and the whole idea of the grown up world being a sham or sham-able were all so awesome for me. It's not your typical book you give to a kid. My mom sure didn't appreciate some of the lessons or role modelling in there, but I turned out okay nonetheless.
Great book to this day.
