Summary: 5 Stars
I've always loved this movie. It's great for the entire family and is one of my favorites with Tom Hank in it. DVD Review: Big Hit
Summary: 4 Stars
"Big" is an excellent example of Tom Hanks' stellar acting. It's whimsical but down-to-earth, cute but real enough not to be labeled a "kid's" movie, and a must-see for any Tom Hanks fan. They just don't make movies like this anymore; it's a true classic. On a scale from Joe Vs. the Volcano to Forrest Gump, I'd give it a solid Sleepless in Seattle.DVD Review: Hanks' star rises again
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is the fortituous meeting of a truly great script, and an actor who was primed and ready for superstardom. Tom Hanks had already been showing a lot of potential for several years (on TV, in "Bosom Buddies" and "Family Ties", and on the big screen in "Splash" and "The Money Pit"), but this film gave Hanks his first opportunity to really flex his considerable acting muscle. And flex it he does. Hanks' performance as overgrown 12 year-old Josh Baskin garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
However, his is not the only great performance in this movie. He's often nearly upstaged by Jared Rushton, who plays Billy Kopecki (Josh's best friend). Billy gets a few of the script's best zingers.
The basic storyline of "Big" was fraught with potential pitfalls and potential violations of taste, but it managed to avoid every one of them. It's often hilarious, sometimes heartbreaking, and several scenes can either make you smile or cringe, depending on from which character's perspective you're viewing the scenes. Simply brilliant filmmaking.
DVD Review: Big Review
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a movie about a 12 year old boy who makes a wish at a carnival to be "big" and gets his wish the next morning. He eventually gets a job at a toy company, but still wants to go home because he is, after all, still 12 years old. This movie is full of laughs, Tom Hanks is at his best, making you laugh in every situation. This movie has no nudity, no language, is definitely suitable of kids, and is one of the best movies I've ever seen. Definitely a movie to watch if you are feeling down.
Description of Big
Comedy about a 12-year-old boy who wishes to be bigger, and overnight becomes a 35-year-old man, who discovers that perhaps being a child isn't so bad after all.Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: PG
Release Date: 4-FEB-2003
Media Type: DVD
A perfect marriage of novel but incisive writing, acting, and direction, Big is the story of a 12-year-old boy who wishes he were older, and wakes up one morning as a 30-year-old man (Tom Hanks). The script by Gary Ross (Dave) and Anne Spielberg finds some unexpected ways of attacking obvious issues of sex, work, and childhood friendships, and in all of these things the accent is on classy humor and great sensitivity. Hanks is remarkable in the lead, at times hilarious (reacting to caviar just as a 12-year-old would) and at others deeply tender. Penny Marshall became a first-rate filmmaker with this 1988 work. --Tom Keogh
