Pros: Tom Hanks turns in a flawless performance as a 12-year-old gone "big". Cons: Don't watch it at a low point in your life; it'll never be the same.
Joshua Baskin couldn't be more frustrated. Take out the garbage, take out the garbage, he mocks his parents as he carries the burly bags out to the cans at the end of the driveway.
Like any typical 12 year old, Josh is also getting to...
Pros: Great screenplay, fine directing, and an awesome cast Cons: None
In the summer of 1988, around the same time when I was wrapping up my Spring Term classes at Miami-Dade Community College and getting set to go on my study-abroad trip to Spain, 20th Century Fox released two films which I never saw on the big screen but ...
Pros: A contemporary comedy classic makes it at last to special edition DVD. Cons: The 130-minute extended cut is a little too much of a good thing.
In 1984, the idea came to screenwriter Gary Ross to make a body-switching comedy, and he settled on the conceit of a boy who becomes a full-grown man overnight. His neighbor happened to be Anne Spielberg, Steve's sister, and the two writers managed to ...
There's one thing I find absolutely terrifying about Hollywood, is that they remake movies. Bad movies to be remade, are understandable because the filmmakers can improve on a concept not executed thoughtfully. But a good movie to be remade can be ...
I have this movie on video, and I have seen it many times. The first time I watched this I was at a friends house, and laughed through almost the whole movie. When I need to laugh I pull out this movie, and just shut out the world, and reality, and...
Pros: The acting of Tom Hanks Cons: The wish machine only worked for Tom. Why is that?
Tom Hanks is one of those actors who, in my opinion, pretty much guarantees an enjoyable viewing experience. While I didn't particularly care for Bachelor Party, every other movie of his that I have seen has been thoroughly enjoyable to watch.
Tom Hanks is perfect for this role. He manages to play an adult who is actually a child and he brings the perfect amount of innocence to the character all the while being believable. This movie was one the best from the 80's.
Pros: It makes you feel good inside Cons: We can't really have Zoltar machines grant us wishes...we can try, though.
We could all use a little magic in our lives, and that is precisely what BIG is about. This movie is great, it's funny and cute, but that is not why it works so well. Big has lasted because it passes on a little bit of it's magic to us. It reaches for...
"Big" is a great film. There are so many moments in this movie that make it memorable. I remember watching it when it first came out and I remember specific scenes. A story about a boy that wishes that he were, as the title suggests, big,...
Its been more than 10 years since I first saw "Big" at the movies. To recap, 10 years ago, Reagan was still in office, the Cold War was not yet a chapter in history, the Internet only existed at DARPA, and Tom Hanks owned a few Oscars less....
I think this is a really good movie. I've seen it so many times and still like it.
This movie is about a 13-year-old boy named Josh who makes a wish on a wishing booth game at a carnival. He later that night goes to sleep and wakes up the...
Pros: fun time in the transition of age/body Cons: none
Big is great! I have a little boy, and all I could see was my boy growing up fast in Tom Hanks portrayal. By Deux Ex Machina, Hanks' character is a kid in a grown up body. By accident, he becomes a very important executive at a toy company. He earns...
Pros: Fun for the whole family, Tom Hanks is great! Cons: There's not a wrong note in the whole film.
Tom Hanks has gone from sitcom star to one of Hollywood’s best and favourite actors, culminating in back-to-back Academy Awards for Best Actor (Philadelphia in 1993 and Forrest Gump in 1994). However, I think Big, for which he was also nominated as Best...
Most children are upset by the fact that they are small, particularly those that are entering their teens. That's where Josh is. He's almost tall enough to get on the roller coaster. He's almost old enough not to have to take the trash out. At 13, he's...
Tom Hanks won raves for his Oscar nominated performance (1988, Best Actor) as a twelve-year-old boy trapped inside a thirty year old body in director ...More at Buy.com
