Catch me if you can

Starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks, the movie is the story of a teenage fruadster evading the law dogged by a detective.
DiCaprio plays the part of the teenager who grew up seeing his parents in love. When they break up, he is most disheartened. He thinks the lack of money flowing in their house is the cause. He runs away from home to master the art of cheque fraud, by posing as a pilot, doctor, lawyer.
Hanks plays the detective who is on trail for this fraudster and is finally able to catch him. Being underaged, DiCaprio's character is not punished as an adult should be. Needing an analyzer for cheque fraud, Hanks suggests that the teen fraudster be brought in for the job - an idea that is successful and they end to be friends forever.
It was interesting to see how DiCaprio's character pulled off each of the professions he was posing in. A good engrossing movie, although sometimes it seemed to be a drag.
