# Catch Me If You Can - Parent Guide
While rated PG-13, this crime drama contains strong violence and mature themes about deception that may be inappropriate for younger children. The film glorifies con artistry and fraud, which could send mixed messages about dishonesty. Best suited for older teens (15+) who can understand the serious consequences of crime.
