Great movie - ever kid's dream! Though it seemed weird to me that an adult woman would be able to relate to basically an 11 year old (??) kid and want to boinkle him?
I think Elizabeth Perkins and Tom Hanks should do sequel to big and have them meet again at a toy convention and they both wish to be young again for a week
Big holds up surprisingly well, given the time in which it was made. The jokes are still funny, and the situation still amusing. But more than anything else, it is Hanks' performance as a child in a man's body that stands out as truly excellent as he portrays Josh's coming to terms with grown-up life.
This is such a classic, that never ceases to make me laugh. Containing a very young Tom Hanks, the film starts out great and finishes great too. Tom Hanks perfectly portrays a teenage kid, and you can't help but cringe at all of his antics. A timeless 80's movie.
What if one morning you woke up and discovered that you had become an adult? Tom Hanks portrays the youngster stuck in an adult's body and does a fine performance.
My dad named my little brother after Josh from the movie. He said that Tom Hanks plays such an amazing role in this movie and he loved the little boy in the movie and if he ever had a boy, which he finally did, he would name him Josh... funny, myself and my little brother are named after people from movies...... well mine came from a TV show.
Susan: I'm not so sure we should do this. Josh: Do what? Susan: Well, I like you, and I want to spend the night with you. Josh: Do you mean sleep over? Susan: Well, yeah. Josh: OK... but I get to be on top.
Tom Hanks plays the perfect 12 year old!! Seriously, this movie is sad, funny, sweet, scary, and even a bit romantic! This one will be just as good the 10th time, as it was the first!
I remember watching this when I was younger , and today it's still a good movie that's truly funny and ages well. Hanks is a versatile actor and one of my favorites.
when i wwas a kid.. iused to wish i become an adult for one day and let me watch othere adults ...how athey live ..howathey think and do things ..which we were not supposed to do!! but its really mind blowing to have seen this movie and realize that with time everythings changes and..your dreams come true.. !!
ohh, the classics. tom hanks' career really hit it big with this movie. it's fun & sweet, and he plays a "kid" adult effortlessly. a great movie based on the simple concept "careful what you wish for".
A nice movie,that surely will grant you a great time,but nothing more.Tom Hanks acted well as the childish adult,and he is the one who carry the movie on his back.
