Comedy/Fantasy/Romance... the whole family can enjoy!
Created: 03/09/06
This is a fun classic comedy (1988) with a really sweet love story wrapped into it. A little boy, Josh, wishes he were BIG (after seeing the girl he likes with a much bigger and older boy standing in line at a carnival ride) after putting a coin into a fortune telling machine. A card is then dispensed from the machine saying his WISH had been GRANTED! It is eerie because then he notices the machine wasn't even plugged in at the time!
After he wakes up the next morning, his body IS bigger- that of an adult man! Tom Hanks plays the part of the adult Josh, of course in his "mind" he is still a little boy! The resulting movie is hilarious but also has tender moments as he starts to fall in love with a lady co-worker, and she, with him. It is a very enjoyable film and it is PG so it is safe to watch with the kids.

A young Tom Hanks outdoes himself in a wistful wishing well story of a dream gone wrong. He is suddenly thrust into adulthood and it scares him silly! And it seems like just when things start to go good for him he remembers who he really is. Tom Hanks does a very clever job in this one and I love it!

We bought the movie Big because we always enjoyed Tom Hanks work and we did like this one.
However, the main reason for the purchase was as a gift for our grandchildren, ages 11 and 13
but we decided against it due to a sexual scene in the movie which we considered inappropriate
for them to see. I'm sure that when they are older they will enjoy the movie as we did. We
rate the movie 4 stars and believe it to be a classic.

Big - A great story about a boy who wants to be big and makes a wish at a carnival. It comes true and he eventually finds himself successful at job and with a woman. If by some chance you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor and do so.

This film is such a classic and a must own! Great film for the whole family! Great story of a boy who wants to be a grown up but after getting his wish has to deal with the negative effects of doing so after all the fun has gone away.
