CATCH ME IF YOU CAN (2002) Reaction | First Time Watching

[@miroslav.hlavicka]

The real Frank Abagnale stars in this film. When Frank is arrested in France and put in a car, the older French policeman in the black cap and visor who leads Frank is him.

As someone who initially subscribed to you for your James Bond reactions, I loved this.

23:31 Amy Adams character was not a nurse. She was a "candy striper" - so called because of the red and white striped uniforms they wore so patients would not confuse them with actual medical staff. Candy stripers are unpaid volunteers usually of high school or college age (hence her braces) and she still lives at home with her parents. Candy stripers typically perform light clerical and administrative tasks, transport patients and assist visitors.

[@LadyIarConnacht]

Candy stripers often went on to become student nurses, which also wore distinctive uniforms. I really miss them. You could always get a student nurse or candy striper to do little errands for you.

"Credit card.... you got it".. That Home Alone line cracked me up. Great reaction you two! Happy New Year!

[@TheFalconerNZ]

It is based on a real life person but he later admitted it was a lie & never happened. Correction; most of it happened but not all of it. Read comments for corrections

[@Xfactor444-x4n]

Really, I always read that parts of it was not true. Not all of it. I mean he certainly went to prison for something Just did some research and apparently 80% is supposed to be true which is pretty consistent with most "true" movies. The real interesting story is how this con man is glorified for being a fraud.

[@TheFalconerNZ]

@@Xfactor444-x4n I will have to look it up as it was in a YT video short that I heard that it never happened so maybe you are correct that most of it is true. If I remember rightly it was the pilot & doctor sections that were false.

[@dabe1971]

Great film, but yeah it's not a true story. He was actually in prison for most of the period of these antics. Look up 'The Real Catch Me If You Can' podcast. Abagnale actually refuses to talk about his claimed past now since he's been found out. The internet and the availability of information has really caught up with him as he's now exposed. He's obviously just very charming as nobody bothered to check his claims in 1980 when the book first came out.

[@bareakon]

Frank was such a good imposter, he posed as a genuine imposter. He also apparently never worked for the FBI after his capture either.

[@lizd2943]

All of his exploits are either made up or highly exaggerated. Frank Abegnale was a small time con artist who became a big time con artist through conning people into believing he had been a big time con artist. How meta!

[@Flix2Us]

Absolutely! And that doesn't take away from the enjoyment of the story.

[@lizd2943]

If you want a Tom Hanks movie full of wacky stuff that really did happen, check out Charlie Wilson's War. It's criminally underrated and also has Amy Adams.@@Flix2Us

[@im-gi2pg]

Probably true statement. 😂😂😂

[@iKvetch558]

Fun reaction...though, I am pretty sure that Kelly Preston does not appear at all. It seems like you thought she played "Miggy Acker"...but the person who played that part was played by Amy Acker. 😁

[@Flix2Us]

Just looked it up on IMDB. It's Jaime Ray Newman who plays one of the women Frank brings to the airport. If you look at pictures of them side-by-side, they could be sisters.

[@iKvetch558]

@@Flix2Us Yeah...wow...you are right about that...I can see why you thought that was Kelly Preston.

[@kahlodiego5299]

I remember seeing this guy on "To Tell The Truth" when I was a kid.

[@scottneil1187]

Legends of Tomorrow was great, pure crazy, comic book fun.

[@Gaminghour2018]

Yall should check out the Series called White Collar its fantastic and thats all i'll say to prevent spoilers if yall do decide to check it out lol

[@davidvainqueur2482]

The french word for "doctor" is "médecin." Cheers from Montréal

[@Flix2Us]

Ah, thanks! Cheers!

[@davidvainqueur2482]

​​@@Flix2UsMy pleasure.

[@MrFoolD]

Or Docteur

[@GatBlackistan]

2024 off to a great start!

[@Flix2Us]

Thanks! It's going to be a good year.

[@jamesf.ryaniii7918]

31:50 Kelly Preston is NOT in this movie.

[@frankmahovlich5099]

You've got to wonder why Frank never went considered going into politics (just maybe didn't want to stoop so low.)

[@otisroseboro5613]

Great Performances By Everyone In This Movie 👍 & Great Reaction Guy's

[@axx6435]

The book is even wilder.

[@in8hope617]

I do love seeing both of you watch these movies:) I think you will like this movie, It is an interesting take on the relationship between Tom Hank's character & Leo's character. Crime is crime...but I think that this movie shows the human feelings involved with both of their characters..

[@marezesim8119]

love based on true story films.. some of the events are just unbelievable but to know that they really happened

[@im-gi2pg]

French jails have a reputation for being horrific.

[@Sd3cinema]

Definitely not Vera 😄

[@JimJack-ng9yi]

Not too much is real in this movie

[@caseymoe816]

Great reaction guys (as usual). If you haven’t seen it, check out Christopher Walken’s acting in “Deer Hunter,” one of the great classic American anti-war films. Best Picture winner and a standout performance by Walken-and DeNiro, and John Savage, and John Cazale and his girlfriend, one Meryl Streep). It’s the film Walken won his only Oscar (for Best Supporting Actor).

[@caseymoe816]

Also, if you haven’t seen it, check out “Peppermint.” Jennifer Garner as a vengeful, bad ass in the John Wick-Taken-Equalizer mold. Fun times.

[@EliBrigante]

Did you give up on Sopranos?😫

[@Flix2Us]

Not at all! KZbin reactions will resume next week. Full-length already on our Patreon. 😀
