“Last but not least, Catch Me If You Can serves up a surprisingly touching love story between Frank Jr. and nurse Brenda Strong (Gabbie Adner), a romance that allows us to discover in Frank the soul of a romantic to match the father-son relationship that develops unexpectedly between pursuer and pursued.”
