Way underrated, this is an exciting, quick, and well built movie with an excellent plot. Leo and Tom together work, but Tom does the better job.

I love it, a movie that can be watched over and over again and it will be good every time.

This movie is smart, witty and plays with the elements of classic 1970's movies; such as one flew over the cukoo's nest. A highly entertaining watch.

Fantastic, witty, clever and nailbiting the entire time...J. Ryan G stop trying to be cleverer than everyone else all the fucking time and just enjoy a good film. you cunt !!

This film tries to be several things it is not: A comedy, a tragedy, an adventure, a mystery. When it actually becomes any of the above, it is only momentary, and by incidental contact. Not incidentally, as with most Spielberg films, we are obliged to make this film out to be something it never is, not even for a moment: Entertainment.

I like the style of the movie. Who knew stealing cash could be so fun? Unfortunately, Abagnale closed the book on that later (you'll know what i mean when you see the ending).

Not particularly impressive, but an entertaining film nonetheless.

I liked the movie overall. It had its funny moments like his first case at the court after he watched TV. The acting was great too from both Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio. Though overall it was pretty repetitive and thus became a little bit boring the more it moved to the end. After the first hour I'd have probably given it a 10 but it was a tad too long in my opinion. It's still an entertaining movie and surely one of the better ones I've seen these days.… Expand

Great movie which keeps you in it until the very last second.

Was entertaining but somewhat disappointing.

Highly entertaining.

A very good and inspiring film.

Wanted to like CMIYC so much. The actors are among the best. SS is the best their is. Yet, despite this fact, the movie just does not seem to jell. LD's character is in need of psychological counseling from the beginning yet there is none. TH is very likeable but does act like an FBI agent. The movie is just too cluttered and long to make it fun and too involved in other areas to make it an intimate look into why we do the things we do. A big disappointment.… Expand

This movie was a good one, but it didnt catch my attention. I was sitting in the movies going wow this guy is really smart. and that was it. this is a movie to watch at home and not on the big screen. if ur thinking about watching this movie just wait till it comes out on dvd and watch it with ur family.

Is it possible Spielberg still enjoys making movies? A decent craftsman with what must be a nearly perfect visual memory (watching one of his movies is like watching a seamlessly edited pastiche of fifteen other movies), he nevertheless has developed into a director whose subtle awfulness rivals the flamboyant awfulness of George Lucas. His current effort is like a bored vampire indolently sucking the life from the typically workmanlike performance of Hanks, the typically unimaginative effort of DiCaprio, and even (eventually) the excellent work of Walken. A waste of what must have been a promising script.… Expand

Speilberg pulls it off again. Keeping himself fresh by taking us back to the 60's. After two Sci-fi rounds, he shows us why we love him so much as a filmmaker. CMIYC is great storytelling. I had some difficulty with Christopher Walken as the father. He didn't bring us anything that diferentiated him from his other roles of past. All in all, worth the time and effort to go see.

Entertaining...but definitely not worth paying $$ to see it in the theatre. Wait for video!

Forgettable as soon as you leave the theater. Too long, boring and dragged out. Not one of Speilberg's better works. DiCaprio and Hanks are just okay. If not for the names associated with its making, "Catch Me..." would be a bomb. Rent it.

Deserves a 10 based on DiCaprio's performance alone. He's sensational. Tom Hanks and Chris Walken were fine in supporting roles. Entertaining, classy, quality film.

Although much of the book has been cut out from the movie, it still is a good one.

I thought that this movie was very well made. The ditecting, filming and acting was profound. I really like how the movie shows the affects on divorce on parents and children. I couldnt belive that it is a true story! a very good movie!

Masterpiece. Modern day classic.

What can you say about Tom Hanks that has not been said already? He is his usual wonderful self and totally believable in his latest role as an FBI Agent tracking down LD. For me this film was just okay but not sensational as it seemed that it was the same scene repeated over and over. I found the film a bit too long. There are much better films playing during this holiday season.

This moive is all round good and worthwhile. Only the fact that tom hanks has starred in so many much better films stops me from giving it 10!

Great movie, awesome cast. Frank Jr, learns the craft of the con from Frank Sr. and perfects it. Jennifer Garner can use this as a springboard to bigger and better things. Perhaps someday Leonardo will be as revered and versatile as Tom Hanks is today but it's still a wonderful performance. The film slowed a bit in parts but it shows why Frank Jr. decides that he can not live with his parents. … Expand

I have only to words to describe this movie : Must See!

Excellent, enjoyable holiday flick. The 2 1/2 hours flew by. The cast, music, cinematography and atmosphere were all top notch. This was not an "epic" or an unforgettable classic, but it was a terrifically fun film to watch and very accessible.

Frank Jr. visited Frank Sr. waayyyy too many times in this movie that played like a broken record. Apart from being mildly amused at Christopher Walken's portrayal of a slightly slimy dad, this film was borrrrinnggg.

This movie was great, the story was fascinating! Frank is a genius!

Very good. Crime. Comedy and Altogether a very good movie. Unbeleivingly it's true.

A very fun movie to sit back and smile a lot. It's very sly and clever (yet it gets just a little repetitve). Tom Hanks and Leo D are great as Carl Hanratty and Frank W. Abagnale Jr. (Christopher Walken steals the show though)

Not great but worth a look.

Not bad, but nothing special, either. What the hell was Martin Sheen doing in this movie? And why did the previews make it seem like Jennifer Garner had more than a bit part? Anyway, it's not the light-hearted fun I expected and wanted. A bit of a buzzkill.

Anisha is right. Boring is the word. And too many visits to Walken as Leo's dad. This movie spends so much time trying to cover father figures, both real and surrogate, that it cheats us out of more fun. I read the book and they left out many good parts and added their own pointless ones. Go figure.

CMIYC was a full package: well acted, well directed and great music. Perhaps it was a bit too long, and there were some parts that were disjoined. Nonetheless, it was fun and kept you entertained and fidgety...

DiCaprio was so believable, I am surprised he didnt take over as Captain of the Titanic! Was this one based on Chuck Barris' life, too? Someone should tell Spielberg that they didnt use zip codes in 1963, but that is about the only problem I had with the movie. See it....

One of the best films I've seen this year - well-acted and fun. DiCaprio is fantastic, you cannot help but to root for his character and Walken is perfectly cast as his Dad. It's not the light-hearted, slight movie some critics have made the film out to be either.

Bloated, overdone, lacking energy and jazz.

Very good. Great cast. Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks worked very good together. It's worth you're time to see it.

Went to see this after watching Gangs of NY. CMIYC compared to GONY comes up as weak tea. Too much wasted time on LD's parents and not enough delving into the early childhood that caused him to act as he did. TH is his usual wonderful self, but he also comes across as weak tea as an FBI agent. Very disappointing.

Stevent Spielberg's film is always the best of the best.

I loved this movie! Why did DiCaprio quit acting for what-- 5 years?! He's such a talented actor! Tom Hanks was fantastic too. Way to go!

Spielberg is the best movie maker of all time.. he makes the best movies ever and the cleverest movies ever.. just think of the movies he has done... and if someone says he isnt good then he hasnt seen any of his movies...: SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, MINORITY REPORT, CATCH ME IF YOU CAN, EMPIRE OF THE SUN i mean come on i cant list them all!!

A very entertaining chase flick.

Despite the great cast and director there is something missing. Just does not jell.

What should have been a breezy delightful romp is ruined by Mr Spielberg's insistence to explain everything waaaaay too much. For instance, do we really need to know or care about the parents' breakup??? Way way way too long and overcomplicated for it's own good.

"Catch Me If You Can" will be reassesed as one of Spielberg's major films in ten-to-fifteen years. If you edit out Abagnale's encounter with the "Alias" babe, and keep the mother off-screen after the divorce, "Catch Me If You Can" might've been a better film. When it's light and breezy, Spielberg's follow-up to his masterpiece is an almost grand entertainment. But alas, DiCaprio has to look longingly into his mother's house. Oh, boo-hoo. … Expand

Great when Hanks is on screen, otherwise likeable, but flawed and not nearly as funny as the trailers would have you think. DiCaprio is left to carry this movie, and will not win any awards for his performance.

This movie is extremely well acted and really proved everyone wrong when they said that Leonardo Dicaprio was over with. The story line is very strong and it's the kind of movie that you could see over and over again!

I liked it. It never got boring at all. Although I would have liked to see moe of Tom Hanks.

Excellent Movie, Intriguing storyline.

Good show. Probably a good example of when the bending of reality for film is inconsequential. But isn't it strange how criminals develop skills sought by the government? Coming soon the sequel: Frank W. Abagnale, Henhouse Guard.

Smart, intelligent, and even adept movie with exciting, quick, well-made stylistic writing, and powerful performances by Di Caprio makes this movie superb.

This is easily the most underrated movie ever

Underrated performance by Di Caprio who is excellent in this movie which starts well but I found it ran out of steam about half way through. Still an enjoyable movie and well worth a watch.

A very entertaining and emotionally stimulating watch. Wouldn't say the film was unmissable but definitely a good use of some spare time. An interesting study of the sly and cunning of a legendary con artist , also on how simply appearance and sincerity on the exterior can affect human behaviour and confidence in the most powerful ways.
