What did you all think of this movie?

I was kinda skeptical given that I don't like DiCaprio very much....but I enjoyed the movie.
Tom Hanks was very good in an unusual type of role.

Read the book, it's much better(as usual). The movie adaption was pretty accurate, but there were some big differences.

Previews made it look like one of the crappiest piece of filth to come out in recent memory but it seems a lot of people are enjoying it so I think I'll rent it soon...and probably enjoy it ;)

I thought it was very well done, but that is what you get for having Spilberg directing!

Very good movie. What's more interesting is this guys life story. He was just brilliant at fraud. He started at 16 years old!!! Now the fact that Forbes 500 Companies pay him millions of dollars a year to create checks is awesome. Very neat story.

The movie was good, me and the wife enjoyed it!

My thoughts exactly - but it was a very good movie.

And yes, Tom Hanks' joke was a classic!

:D

Oh, and it's amazing that he actually studied for the bar exam and passed! He didn't even finish high school!

I've met Frank Abagnale four times now at various conferences (we both consult with the same people) and I must say he is a pretty brilliant guy. Just saw him most recently in Chicago last week (here.)

I have a copy of a speech he made on audio tape. If I can figure a way to mp3 it I will (and I'll share it with y'all...there's no copyright infringement.)

I hate DiCaprio but I actually liked this movie a lot. Best part is when he escapes him by pretending to be Secret Service.
