My wife and I thought "Catch Me If You Can" was one of the best comedic films of the year and while we both felt that the elements of comedy were stronger than you apparently did, we also felt that it was well balanced with pathos. You are exactly right that the aniable con-man Frank Abegnale was far removed from a sociopathic role player like Ripley (another excellent movie, but oceans away in terms character study). I should point out that the stadium seating theater was absolutely packed where we caught "Catch Me..." and the audience applauded at the end. This movie is a REAL winner, IMHO.
