| Welcome to the Now Playing Reviews Database where
you can find our opinion of films which have had a cinema release in the UK.
Each of these movies are reviewed from a gay perspective, giving them
both an overall star rating plus our exclusive gay rating. The more stars out of a possible 10, the
better the film; similarly the more pink triangles, the greater the gay interest. A full list of
all our reviews appears below, and this week's current films are found on the Now Playing Main Page.
Most films are now available for rent on DVD and we recommend ScreenSelect who operate an efficient online rental service by post with no late fees and you can keep up to 3 DVDs for as long as you like. If you'd like a film permanently in your DVD collection, then the best prices are normally found at Amazon. | |
Catch Me If You Can Movie Rating: 
Crowd-pleasing Romp | |
| After running away from home at age 16, Frank Abagnale (Leonardo DiCaprio) successfully poses as an airplane pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer, all the while cashing millions of dollars in forged checks. When a tenacious FBI agent (Tom Hanks) picks up his trail, a lively game of cat-and-mouse ensues. | |
| Buoyed by spirited performances from both leading men, the latest from director Steven Spielberg is a crowd-pleasing romp made all the more enjoyable by the fact that it's based on actual events. In typical fashion, Spielberg tends to pour on the schmaltz, especially in regard to Frank's relationship with his luckless father (Christopher Walken). |

| But even the director's heavy hand can't weigh down the story's giddy exuberance, especially amid the Day-Glo colors of the film's various '60s-era settings. | |
