A funny, yet moving story

Rating: 9/10 (22 May 2008)

Yet again, another triumph for Steven Spielberg. It's a true story about a boy named Frank Abignale Jr. who becomes a con man, using fake identities and cashing in faux checks. And while this is happening, an FBI agent named Carl Hanratty is on the lookout for him.
What's great about this story is the humor. There is some wonderful play between Frank Abignale Jr. and Carl Hanratty and all of the characters in the film. I especially like Carl's "Knock Knock" joke. I won't tell you what it is, but it's very good.
It's truly the sweet dessert that Spielberg has given to us after giving us the bitter herbs of "Minority Report."
