Buy This Item Catch Me If You Can (Widescreen Two-Disc Special Edition) by Dreamworks Video  Available from Amazon  $9.99  on 11-25-2008     Inspired by the extraordinary true story of a brilliant young master of deception and the FBI agent hot on his trail, Catch Me If You Can stars Oscar nominee Leonardo DiCaprio and two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks in one of the year's most acclaimed hits! From three-time Oscar winning director Steven Spielberg, Catch Me If You Can follows Frank W. Abagnale, Jr. as he successfully passes himself off as a pilot, a lawyer and a doctor - all before his 21st birthday! Joel Siegel of Good Morning America declares, "Movies don't get much more fun that this!" while The Associated Press hails this incredible tale as "the most flat-out-fun movie of the year!" Reader Reviews DiCaprio and Hanks combine with Spielberg to produce an amusing,true story of a young rebel (Leo) outfoxing Hanks' special FBI unit on counterfeiting for years. Leo is at his acting best, following in the footsteps of his "loose" mother and his rip-off specialist father.He uses his keen intellect to assume top quality jobs in the airlines, as a doctor, and finally a lawyer,cashing millions of dollars of bogus checks along his route. The picture frolics along for about an hour until, suddenly, it seemingly goes flat, even boring. And it's Hanks, working with the alacrity of Barnaby Jones and the acumen of Inspector Clousseau that's to blame. No recording devices, 3 agents at the party, no effective police backups, a literal crawl up the stairs at the party, a complete lack of aggressiveness, the ridiculous escape from Miami, all seem to point to a deliberate lengthening of the film. Add a really ludicrous semi-climax where Leo is set free, again garbed in a pilot's uniform, and the film loses all credibility. Summing up, the plot was there for a great movie;instead this reviewer saw a fair/good one.
