 "It's never dull and always looks good."
-- The Wolf, IOFILM.CO.UK
"Catch it... if you can!"
-- Staci Layne Wilson, FANTASTICA DAILY
"Its maker, Steven Spielberg, hasn't had so much fun in two decades, since he was schlepping Indiana Jones around the globe in search of a giant misplaced ashtray."
-- Robert Wilonsky, DALLAS OBSERVER
"Spielberg becomes a Sinatra with this one, asking us to do nothing more than snap our fingers and come fly with him."
-- Jeffrey Westhoff, NORTHWEST HERALD (CRYSTAL LAKE, IL)
"This movie got me grinning. There's a part of us that cannot help be entertained by the sight of someone getting away with something."
-- Ian Waldron-Mantgani, UK CRITIC
"Graças às interações entre seus personagens, o filme torna-se não apenas uma história divertida sobre uma curiosa perseguição, mas também um belo estudo de personagens."
-- Pablo Villaca, CINEMA EM CENA
"This is DiCaprio's best performance in anything ever, and easily the most watchable film of the year."
-- John Venable, SUPERCALA.COM
"This is a story that zings all the way through with originality, humour and pathos."
-- Urban Cinefile Critics, URBAN CINEFILE
"Truth is stranger than fiction, so the old saying goes. In 'Catch Me If You Can,' it's also more entertaining."
-- Betty Jo Tucker, REELTALK MOVIE REVIEWS
"A breezy, diverting, conventional, well-acted tale of two men locked in an ongoing game of cat-and-cat."
-- Lawrence Toppman, CHARLOTTE OBSERVER
"All of it works smoothly under the direction of Spielberg, who does a convincing impersonation here of a director enjoying himself immensely."
-- Gary Thompson, PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
"While it has definite weaknesses -- like a rather unbelievable love interest and a meandering ending -- this '60s caper film is a riveting, brisk delight."
-- Dawn Taylor, PORTLAND TRIBUNE
"A glib but bouncy bit of sixties-style slickness in which the hero might wind up caught but the audience gets pure escapism."
-- Frank Swietek, ONE GUY'S OPINION

"Does a good job of establishing a time and place, and of telling a fascinating character’s story."
-- Brian Webster, APOLLO GUIDE
"The film's only missteps come from the script's insistence on providing deep emotional motivation for each and every one of Abagnale's antics."
-- Phil Villarreal, ARIZONA DAILY STAR
"The lightest, most breezy movie Steven Spielberg has made in more than a decade. And the positive change in tone here seems to have recharged him."
-- Jeff Vice, DESERET NEWS, SALT LAKE CITY
""Catch Me" feels capable of charming the masses with star power, a pop-induced score and sentimental moments that have become a Spielberg trademark."
-- John Urbancich, SUN NEWSPAPERS OF CLEVELAND
"A reminder that beyond all the hype and recent digital glitz, Spielberg knows how to tell us about people."
-- Joshua Tyler, FILM HOBBIT
"...a roller-coaster ride of a movie"
-- Tony Toscano, TALKING PICTURES
"A true-blue delight."
-- Tor Thorsen, REEL.COM
"The modern master of the chase sequence returns with a chase to end all chases"
-- Jeet Thayil, REDIFF.COM
"One of the best cat-and-mouse movies to come along in a while, Leo has great fun in the role."
-- Michael Szymanski, ZAP2IT.COM
"Leonardo DiCaprio is perfectly cast. He oozes a stiff martini blend of larcenous charm and lonely-boy vulnerability."
-- Bob Strauss, LOS ANGELES DAILY NEWS

"Mr. Spielberg and his company just want you to enjoy yourselves without feeling conned. And they succeed merrily at their noble endeavor."
-- Philip Wuntch, DALLAS MORNING NEWS
"It's a technically superb film, shining with all the usual Spielberg flair, expertly utilizing the talents of his top-notch creative team."
-- Michael Wilmington, CHICAGO TRIBUNE
 "What begins brightly gets bogged down over 140 minutes."
-- Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE
"Though Catch Me If You Can isn't badly made, the fun slowly leaks out of the movie."
-- Charles Taylor, SALON.COM
"Affirms the gifts of all involved, starting with Spielberg and going right through the ranks of the players -- on-camera and off -- that he brings together."
-- Susan Stark, DETROIT NEWS
"Catch Me if You Can is one of those deceptively slight offerings that manages to reveal more about its maker than the intended masterpieces often do."
-- Ben Schwartz, CHICAGO READER
"A gently funny, sweetly adventurous film that makes you feel genuinely good, that is to say, entirely unconned by false sentiment or sharp, overmanipulative Hollywood practices."
-- Richard Schickel, TIME MAGAZINE
"That rarity of rarities, a mainstream American feel-good movie with both charm and intelligence."
-- Andrew Sarris, NEW YORK OBSERVER
"This breezy caper movie becomes a soulful, incisive meditation on the way we were, and the way we are."
-- Steven Rosen, DENVER POST
"Spielberg perfectly re-creates the fashions, the mood and the trends of the '60s, and DiCaprio and Hanks have a lot of fun with their roles."
-- Richard Roeper, EBERT & ROEPER

"The movie is engaging and well acted, though, and the Pink Panther-style credits and background music are worth the price of admission."
-- David Sterritt, CHRISTIAN SCIENCE MONITOR
