Great moments in miscasting

Rating: 4/10 (13 July 2005)

Once again Leo is totally miscast in this disappointing movie which is all style and no substance. After two hours I was left no clearer about the man Howard Hughes although I did learn a lot about planes and TWA. But my real problem is Leo who is actually a great actor but he keeps on taking roles that do not allow his talent to shine "Catch me if you can" being another example when his physical presence just does not match the character. He just looks like a boy, and I suspect he always will, so why cast him in roles that demand men, sorry Leo I am not questioning your manhood, just how you look. No matter how much make up or prosthetics they apply watching him trying to play Howard Hughes was frankly just lame.
