2013 Summer Movies: #14 Catch Me If You Can

Tom Hanks and Leonardo DiCaprio star in this PG-13 film (for sexual content and brief language).  Based loosely on the true story of a young "unsub" (unknown subject) who mastered check fraud, forgery, and impersonation and managed to pose as an airline pilot, doctor and lawyer all before being caught at the age of 21.  I did always wonder how he managed restitution....

Hedgehog and Daisy were amused by the French substitute teacher impersonation and Mica  noted that they do point out that he passed the Louisiana bar exam on his own. (Although some accounts claim he studied longer than the two weeks mentioned in the movie and that he may have had to take the exam more than once to pass.)  I  appreciated that he changed his life and started helping banks, companies and the government to counter fraud.  You can read an interview with Frank Agagnale from January 2008 with computer dealer news: http://www.computerdealernews.com/news/frank-abagnale-breaks-his-silence/5363
