Catch Me if You Can
Directed by Steven Spielberg
2002
★ 6.4 editorial score
Spielberg's lightest film runs on charm and a great John Williams theme: a teenager talks his way into a pilot's uniform and a doctor's coat, with an FBI agent always one hotel behind.
“To describe Catch Me if You Can as a smart, funny caper film is to ignore its strain of sly social satire. If the spine of the story is the elaborate cat-and-mouse game of Frank and Carl, the movie is also a delicately barbed reflection on the American character and the giddy 60's ethos that allowed Frank to live out his fantasies.”
