Oh boy! that's a great unique way this movie has been made. The whole background is animated except the actors. It has few short stories which are quite interesting. The starcast is simply unbelievable, too many good actors. The liked the screenplay, it's just unique. Watch it, it's a great one.

Two great actors and a great story, the result is a great movie. This is a real movie on the life of a conman Frank Abagnale Jr. who posing as a Pan American pilot pulled out millions of dollars. He used to make fake checks, fake dresses, even the ID. Great movie, fun to watch.
