Spielberg beautifully creates the culture of the 1950s nuclear family shattered and the American Dream soured.

"[a] phenomenal Leonardo DiCaprio/Tom Hanks caper..."

Catch Me If You Can is probably one of the best films amongst Spielberg's minor titles, saying more positively about the man's talent than it says anything negatively about the film.

The film is amusing. Legitimately so. This is perhaps as anti-establishment as one can expect Spielberg to be ...

Full Review | Feb 16, 2021

The lighthearted tone and smart pacing allow for unwavering entertainment, plenty of natural humor, and Spielberg's knack for sympathizing with antiheroes.

Catch Me If You Can, aided by strong performances, makes for an entertaining addition into the Steven Spielberg filmography.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 7, 2020

What can I say, but catch it. Catch it now. Catch it again. By hook or by crook, just catch, Catch Me If You Can.

Long and complex, the agility with which Spielberg directs the story of Frank Abagnale performed with incredible naturalness, promptness and charisma by Leonardo DiCaprio. [Full Review in Spanish]

A hugely watchable film that disappoints nonetheless.

simply one of the best, most fun movies of the year

Full Review | Original Score: 5/5 | Jan 10, 2016

I don't think anyone would argue that 'Catch Me If You Can' is one of Spielberg's best films. However, it is good enough and passes a pleasant couple of hours.

Excellent account of FBI's youngest Most Wanted.

A truly excellent, action packed, and funny crime caper...

This amiably light-footed chase gets the job done.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/4 | Feb 1, 2009

The movie is a good time. It not only produces happiness, it is happy.

Full Review | Original Score: A | Sep 24, 2007

This is the director's most likeable film in ages, even if it's insubstantial, overlong and, frankly, a touch redundant.

Full Review | Jun 24, 2006

The movie is -- intentionally or otherwise -- a remarkable parable about denying reality until reality catches up to you.

Has Steven Spielberg lost it?

...the film would've been vastly improved had it been trimmed down to 90 minutes.
