A break from the serious dramas of this holiday season.

Rating: Null/10 (8 January 2003)

Catch Me If You Can is based on the true life story of Frank Abagnale Jr., a con-artist who managed to create a series of false identities while stealing millions of dollars in one of the greatest check fraud schemes of all time. Directed by Steven Spielberg, Catch Me if you Can stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Abagnale and Tom Hanks as the FBI agent hot on his tale.
The film was both humorous and dramatic as we followed Abagnale though his many scams. Most notably the identities included an airline pilot and a doctor. Dicaprio and Hanks made quite the excellent cat and mouse pair, and the intelligent dialog kept me entertained throughout. With all of the serious dramas out this holiday season, I recommend this movie is a good way to break the tension. Just sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride!
