Catch Me if You Can

hey! I have no idea about what this movie is rated and stuff. what have you guys heard about it??

Zooropa · 12-12-2002, 03:16 PM

It's rated PG-13 and opens Christmas day. As for what it's actually about, Leonardo Dicaprio plays a high school con man who is on the run from FBI agent Tom Hanks. It's generally a comedy, but with a cool swagger to it. Think "The Talented Mr. Ripley" meets "Oceans Eleven". The trailer has me pumped to see it. Should be one of the best movies of the year.

Sweet! PG-13!!! At least I have a chance of seeing it! thanks for the info. where'd you watch the trailer?

Yeah, tell your parents that it's going to be clean content-wise (as far as I know anyway). I saw the trailer in the theater before "Solaris", but you can also view it online at Apple Trailers

muchas gracias, amigo! I'm excited!

Also, it is based on a true story.

Looks excellent to me, and being less than a fan of Leo DiCaprio, I'm still quite excited for this flick.

Frodo · 12-13-2002, 08:30 AM

yeah, saw the trailer. trying to think of a friend I could go to it with that would enjoy it as much as I would...

shineN · 12-13-2002, 09:32 AM

looks fairly interesting, I've seen the trailer several times, the first time I practically ignored it seeing that it was Leo, then when Tom Hanks came on, it caught my attention... so I watched the trailer again, I believe i'm gonna go see it

what's up with Hanks' accent in it???

Frodo · 12-13-2002, 10:38 AM

must have something to do with him being from a different country in the story, wouldn't you think??? that's what I'd assume, but hey, I'm blond.

Hey, don't write Leonardo DiCaprio off just because of "Titanic." The guy is one of the best acting talents around, and I think he'll show it in "Gangs Of New York" and "Catch Me If You Can".

shineN · 12-13-2002, 12:05 PM

Yeah, I try hard not to judge Leo for Titanic.... it's hard, but he'll redeam himself if "Gangs" which i'm gonna see as soon as I can, and this one...

Uh, I believe, it's Hanks' attempt at a Northern accent, from what i've heard... well that's the closest thing I can peg it to...

Frodo · 12-13-2002, 01:13 PM

I haven't seen Titanic, but the way you guys are talking about it, it's like it wasn't the biggest film of the year and won 13 awards or anything!!!! Have you seen Marvin's Room? he's awesome in that. what about Man in the Iron Mask?

shineN · 12-13-2002, 01:24 PM

Oh man, was Titanic awefull.... blah...

I've seen Man in the Iron Mask, I was still thinking badly about Leo cause of Titanic, and it wasn't anything special...

I did like him in "What's eating Gilbert Grape" but I haven't seen all of it... likewise w/ "the quick and the dead" and I haven't seen anything of "basketball diaries"

Well, it was the biggest film of that year, but it wasn't the best. The best was a movie that there was no way the Academy would give Best Picture to. See, award shows like the Academy Awards are highly political, so the best film rarely wins. So in the end, awards like that don't really mean anything.

Just like the nobel peace prize
