    This is a wonderful (subtly) Christmas movie. It is a perfect combination of touching and funny. It has some of my favorite performances from both Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio, not to mention Christopher Walken! Definitely worth the watch.

Catch Me if You Can Wiki

Premiere: December, 2002

Type: Movie

Genres/Tags: Biography, Crime, Movie-Drama

The movie states that it was inspired by the true life story of Abagnale; however the movie diverges somewhat from the real events as reported in Abagnale's book on his exploits.

More Information

New Rochelle, the 1960s. High schooler Frank Abagnale Jr. idolizes his father, who's in trouble with the IRS. When his parents separate, Frank runs away to Manhattan with $25 in his checking account, vowing to regain dad's losses and get his parents back together. Just a few years later, the FBI tracks him down in France; he's extradited, tried, and jailed for passing more than $4,000,000 in bad checks. Along the way, he's posed as a Pan Am pilot, a pediatrician, and an attorney. And, from nearly the beginning of this life of crime, he's been pursued by a dour FBI agent, Carl Hanratty. What starts as cat and mouse becomes something akin to father and son.
