Did you ever catch the film "Catch Me If You Can" (2002)?

and Leo was majorly cute in it, wasn't he?

I never watched it for years, but caught it on tv last week and its damn fun!!! great supporting cast. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

[quote]In 2002, Abagnale himself addressed the issue of his story's truthfulness with a statement posted on his company's website which said in part: "I was interviewed by the co-writer only about four times. I believe he did a great job of telling the story, but he also over-dramatized and exaggerated some of the story. That was his style and what the editor wanted. He always reminded me that he was just telling a story and not writing my biography."

All movies about real life persons or events are altered or exagerated to make the story flow better or be more interesting.

I've always been a big fan of this film and it's one of Leo's better performances. Plus he's very hot in it.

The scenes with his father drag.

The woman playing this mother is a famous French actress, who can't handle the English dialog. It'a appaling.

James Brolin was in it - it was made in 2002 and he looked about 70.

Aaron Tveit was utterly charmless in the musical, which used a messy variety show framing device that was used whenever Mitchell felt like it (and dropped completely in other scenes).

Norbert was sensational (deserved his Tony) and Wopat added nice support. Kerry Butler, attempting to play a virginal teen, was silly casting, but I guess she was hired to belt out that 11 o’clock number to high heaven.

There was a musical? Shit!

How did you not see it/add the OBCR to your cast recording collection?

Like so many flops the score plays a lot better on disc than in the theater.

Norbert won the Tony that year (beating both Mormon boys, who I assume split the vote) and Tveit wasn’t even nominated.

It was also nominated for Best Musical, Best Orchestrations and Best Sound Design.

Neither McNally’s book nor Shaiman and Wittman’s score was nominated; and I have to correct myself earlier: Mitchell only did the choreography, while Jack O’Brien directed.

The film - they capture the period details/era perfectly.

Pin perfect.

Good flick. Tom Hanks was very good as Carl Hanratty, the FBI agent obsessed with tracking him down and who comes to understand Frank Abagnale. I thought the most annoying character in the movie was Christopher Walken as Frank Abagnale Sr. DiCaprio was great as Frank Jr. As was Amy Adams as his dumb bride.

It's hard to say how accurate the movie was, though. The real Frank Abagnale Jr. has described it as 80-90% accurate, but some things he wrote in his book upon which the movie is based, like escaping a plane through the lavatory, have been shown to be impossible. The main story, though, of a teenage brilliant fraudster, is right on the money.

It was one of the last performance with Hot LEO, may his baby face rest in peace.

I think it's Leo's best performance. With he did more roles like it.

Well, he was a professional liar and fraudster of gargantuan proportions, so what should we expect?
