To warm up for seeing the new Spielberg/Hanks feature "The Terminal" later today I pulled out my DVD of their 2002 effort Catch Me..." and watched it last night. This is , I think, the fourth time I have seen it and I still find it wonderfully and thoroughly enjoyable. The cinematography is unbelievably colorful, more so as the film progresses, and all of the performances are top notch. The DTS sound is just great, adding to the fun. John Williams composed a quasi-jazz score for this one.
Follow Ups:
he's stuck on airplances and can't get off the subject...He better hurry and get on with Indiana Jones #4!
Aurcraft have been featured in many of his efforts.
Terminal has been likened to "ET" with more than a few commonalities. On interview this morning in which he discussed having a stack of scripts.Terminal caught him up as perfect vehicle for Mr. Hanks.The interviewer poses the ? ,was it meant to be like ET.Mr.Spielbergs face went tilt a split second and he speaks of cutting a line in which Hanks character says "home...phone" in shaky english.Other paralells mentioned by interviewer were,Main character stuck long way from home in foriegn place,learns english via television.Will be interesting to see public comment upon subsiquent release and viewings.I will check back in to see what ticket buyers think.

"The line between America's funniest videos and the emergency room is fine".
In some ways the comparison is bang on - Terminal however isn't nearly as good as E.T. Smaltz in a kids movie is more than acceptable and endearing - in Terminal the romantic sub-plot made me want to gag. It disrupted a mostly good natured fluffy film to the point where I can't recommend Terminal.
I found it to be a WONDERFUL movie, one that leaves you smiling at the end. It is well written, cast, acted, photographed, and directed. It is funny and sad and excellent Summer fare.By the way I have what Hanks kept in the can so maybe I'm prejudiced.
My personal prejudices run wild when it comes to that pre-teen heart throb. Hate his voice most of all. He cannot play adult roles as yet.So, much for that. Ever seen Frank Abagnale? He looked like he was thirty when he was seventeen. That's how he got away with everything.
To me Walken was the highlight.
I pretty much agree with all you said. The real Frank is featured in the extras and he was on the set as an advisor. He says he never drank or smoked but he sure knew how to attract women. And yes, Walken as usual makes the most of a small role and turns that cream into butter.
