Catch Me If You Can: Review

The clothes make the man: Leonardo DiCaprio

This lighter-than-air escapade from Steven Spielberg whizzes by like a brisk, kandy-kolored dream of the 1960s. It's based on the 1980 memoir by Frank Abagnale Jr. (played with great, cunning charm by Leonardo DiCaprio), a master impostor who, in the early 1960s, successfully passed a slew of bad checks while passing himself off as an airline pilot, a pediatrician, a lawyer, a sociology professor and a stockbroker — all before he turned 21. Tom Hanks costars as a fictionalized version of the tireless G-Man who vows to put Abagnale out of the paper-hanging business. Read the complete review for Catch Me If You Can
