Fake teacher schools a bully | Catch Me If You Can | CLIP 

Hi everyone! What grade (out of 10) would you give this video?

I love the way Leonardo and Christopher laugh on the way out while the mother is disappointed and walks past. That expression "I can't believe you really did that, and got away with it for a week. Impressive."

"He looks like a substitute teacher." It seems like the bully gave him the idea of posing as a teacher. Those are some mad improvisation skills!

The way the Dad is proud and entertained all at once and laughs - oh god it's classic.

That moment.. with his dad at the end.. is so special. It always makes me smile. Christopher Walken coming out, looking all disappointed… then that little grin. I love this scene.

If my son did this, I'd be laughing my shit off.

That shared laugh between father and son. Father knows he made a genius and has no worries about his kid's future.

He did a good job controlling the class.

He held a parent teacher conference......always had me dead. He took it to other levels.

I laughed my ass off when the Principle said he was planning a field trip to a French bakery 😂

The amount of confidence he had is astounding

Wait, why discipline the kid? The life of a teacher should be discipline enough!

So a kid held it down for a week and didn't get paid. Yeah that's a problem.

"You see what the problem is?" Yeah. Your desk is too tall, your glasses are too large, and your classes are so easy that a junior can pick up and teach them more effectively than the original teacher did.

am i the only one who feels incredibly bad for the legit substitute teacher having to come all the way there 😢

I've done something like this once in college, a professor asked me to help carry his computer bag and books to his class as I walked into the room and all the students went to their seats and silent.. I looked at them and thought to myself "I could stretch this more"... So I cleaned the whiteboard slowly then looked at the student again with a serious face then it all end when the professor arrived.. Everyone laughed at the end 😂

Christopher Walken adds so much to this movie, particularly his relationship with his son.

It’s hard to imagine me being more impressed with my son than I already am but this would be a whole new level.

That laugh was the same laugh my parents gave me when we left school after I’ve gotten into a fight . The disappointed look in front of the teachers and the laugh after followed by “ did you win “ 🤣

Christopher Walken, he's the King. Love the smirk only he can pull off. A thousand words in one smirk.

The Dad was so amused, yet impressed at the same time. Lol

If the director would ask me as the father "you see were the problem is?" i would've answered "yes... you owe my son a week paymend" Edit: for all the gramma neurotics, i hope you are happy now and can continue your live without the nightmares of my english skills. English is not my mother toungue so get over it.

The moment the bully realized he assaulted and picked on a 'teacher'. He knew the 'teacher' was gonna do smth

"He looks like a substitute teacher" *and then he had an idea.*

When you are proud of you're son but cannot tell him that

If I was the dad, I would have started laughing when they told me what he did.

“Do you see the problem we have?” Not really, no. He sounds like a wonderful substitute.

I love how with enough confidence he was able to take total control of the class.

3:20-3:37 I like how the father and the son laughed away which was priceless and exciting. The father must be thinking: "YEAH, THAT'S MY BOY!!"

I would think they’d be impressed by the fact he was able to perform and handle the duties and responsibilities of a high school teacher

the chuckles at the end...

Beautiful acting. Kid is as confident as can be but when it comes to his father he cares deeply about what he thinks of him. He looked at his dad and waited for his reaction. The sweet relief that his father was impressed and found humor in it all.

Leonardo and Christopher are two of my favorite actors. The subtle energy that they find and share together here is so warming to see

If he was my son I would have been so proud 👏. Brilliance

anybody else feel bad for the real sub?? 🤧

You can tell dad is impressed and proud 😂 Thats what being a parent is all about. Recognising their talents whatever they be and appreciating the effort.

The sign of nice job from your old man while your mom is pissed at you classic

I love how this movie centers around how Frank and his dad are best friends. They share a dynamic that very few of us could only dream to have.

I actually worked on catch me if you can. My family's construction business performs work on locations and I personally worked on the airport location which was the old Ontario Airport terminal and the hospital location which I can't remember where it was located. The hospital had been closed and vagrants stole all of the circuit breakers so we had get power working in the areas they were filming in. I met Leonardo Dicaprio and talked ti him a few times during filming.

The dad's look on his face is priceless... he's so proud and impressed by his son in a weird way... if only they knew to send their son to acting or Hollywood, I'm sure their son Leo would have a great career 😆

Favorite scene from this movie, pure genius…

Worst I did was get into fight. Expelled for 3 days. I took my buddies schedule from a different school, chopped off the top part that had his info on it, and went to school with him for a day. One teacher was like “I told them I’m not accepting anymore students in this class, go to the principal and let him know this”. I went to the library instead and waited for my next class.

Sounds like he made a better teacher than half the teachers we have today.

Oh I loved that his dad backed him up on that. YEEAAYUUH!!!!

I think this young man was brilliant. It take s a lot of guts to do this.

Another comment awhile back on this clip was that it’s a pretty good dedicated effort for supposedly a substitute teacher.. parent teacher conference and a field trip 😂😂👍😂

Gotta wonder how the other parents rated his teaching.

Anytime you make a Christopher Walken character laugh, you're doing something very right.

He was better at classroom discipline than the teachers. So many great scenes like this. He always pushed the envelope and it was very clear he had a huge intellect and creative talent. He could have been anything he chose had he followed legitimate pathways. It was amazing how he turned his life around years later and did so much good.

I felt sorry for the old woman. I'd also suggest they at least hire real teachers as good as his son.

Okay but can we appreciate that the bullies are the most jocky jock and the nerdy nerd? Like… what an alliance. They run this school with an iron fist and Are always ten steps ahead of everyone else mentally.

The grin and laugh from the dad at the end, 'That's my boy' Brilliant 🙂

I'd be so proud that my Son could do all those things at that age. I'd be laughing on the way home too.

That ending laugh between them two was golden, thought he was gonna give him a world of negativity in the form of discipline & lecturing, the alternative energy was comforting.

3:35 that smile and laugh passing to each other. It's like "can't believe you pulled that off..."

That giggle by Christopher says it all ,'Boy,you did it? Ah,you are right there in your old man's league already'.

"Do you see the problem we have?" Yeah, my son is too awesome for your school to contain.

"He held a parent teacher conference yesterday, and was planning a field trip to the French bread factory." As the class cut-up in middle and high school, that is a legendary plan. Even scripted, it made me bellow-laugh

And Frank Abagnale improvised, adapted and overcame to instill the most innovative security protocols that still are used today. Thank you Mr Abagnale, You Rock!!!

3:31 "my son, what have you done??" 😂😂

I always feel bad for the substitute teacher in that scene. 😕 #teacherlife

That subtle nod of approval was all Frank needed to know he can absolutely do this again.

I like this scene! The dad thought it so funny they both laughed.😂

His performance in this movie definitely was Oscar worthy. My favorite movie of him

That lil moment they shared is so great. Christopher Walken is gold.

NGL, if one of my kids pulled that shit, I'd be proud of them too. I know they'd be okay.

"You see the problem?" "Yes the problem is you owe my son a paycheck"

The relationship that frank and his father have is one of my favorite aspects of this movie

One can do anything when fear doesn’t exist.

To think how difficult it was for Leo not to hit on all those under 25 actresses, my dude was sweating during filming.

2:50 predicts his future.

His dad probably wanted more Cow Bell 🔔

What a cool dad! Love Christopher Walken's smile.

My favorite moment 😁😁😁 when Walken and DiCaprio laughing 😂🤣😂

I love how pops just laughed, like "damn, really a whole week?"

Everyone commenting on the chuckle between them at the end. It’s simply one of the greatest parts of this movie that always comes to mind whenever I think about the movie at all.

Even Christopher Walken's posture is textbook Christopher Walken...

Ok, I need to see this movie.

I love his dad. That chuckle that he didn’t manage to hold in. Lol

The doctor's note is another part to how Frank managed to swindle people: attention to details.

Leonardos best role. He and chris walken were brilliant

I work as a sub,if my son took my class,I'd be real happy)))

Seriously one of my all time favourite movies. I've lost count of how many times I've watched it. Never get tired of it.

Got away with it for a week... he must have been doing a good job.

How his father proud of his son :)

While it was humorous, he goes on to be a con man. I still wish I had the confidence he had. It was one thing I admired about my mother-in-law she could bull crap her way into and out of a situation.

I think I underrated this movie the first time I watched it. Nowadays I see every single second makes sense within the plot, acting is awesome... it's perfect!

I love how the Mother seems disappointed, while the Father makes eye contact and literally just laughs because of how unbelievable but impressive what his son did.

Anyone noticed how Frank spelled Abagnale with a capital “N”? But thanks to his confidence, no one notice the mistake, which is technically the whole point of the movie.

I would say "If my son got way with it for a week, then he must have been doing a pretty decent job" 🤣

Just imagine your son doing this in school. No wonder his dad could only chuckle. It makes it more sad seeing what happens later on when he realizes he won't see his dad anymore.

I’ll probably not laugh in public. But in private I will ask him to explain how he pulled it off and laugh out loud with him

Great movie based on a real life genius character. Leo was terrific.

This whole movie is a gem. One of the best ever

Everyone needs a dad like that

"You see the problem, here!" Me: "Yes, a young man pretending to be a teacher had a better course planned than what was left for the substitute.... Is that not the problem, here?"

"Do you see the problem here?" Yes, he did a better job than your actual teachers.

Christopher Walken plays the best dads

My older brother did that to me repeatedly throughout High School, or smack between my legs. While I stood at my locker talking to my girlfriend. Then he did it 3 times as an adult while under the influence of OH. The first two times resulted in a bar fight and the third time I walked away and it was the last I spoke to him, 28 years ago. He bullied and held me down for the first 17 years of sharing a bedroom. But I took that experience and became the first State Champion Wrestler in our schools history. Then went on to become a physician and father of two well adjusted adult children withOUT additions.

This was an crazy scene
