evkells Big is in my opinion one of young tom hanks best performances. Im talking pre forest Gump, cause everything after that you might as well take your pick for great movies. If you liked young Tom in money pit, you'll enjoy this just as much. Its a light hearted, feel good movie, with a great message. This sneaky classic stars a young tom hanks alongside Elizabeth Perkins in her prime and has a very relatable message that anyone of any age can relate to. if you consider yourself a tom hanks fan and haven't seen this movie yet, then your not really a fan. Enjoy.

OneEightNine Media Even with this early film of his, you can see why Tom Hanks is one of the greatest living actors of our generation. Not many actors can pull off what Hanks does here. It is simply brilliant. The film is about a boy who makes a wish to "be big" and wakes up a 35 year old man. Tom does look a little young for the role, considering he was 32 at the time but looks 28; but maybe they did that for a reason. To make visually augment Hanks' performance. Who knows? Anyway this film is outstanding and etc, etc. Chances are that if you are reading this review, you've already seen and love this film.

davekeanu I got to say I am huge fan of the 80s from TV shows to movies I love the sound tracks to the shows and the movies. I am also a huge fan of tom hanks I love his movies he was a amazing in forest gump. I also started watching this movie its seems very good for a tom hanks movie at first I thought it was going to be stupid but I ended up loving it. It was funny enjoyable I can related to the main character being either too young or too old or dumb or smart but I think the learning message from this movie is to enjoy your life while you can weather your a kid a teenage or an adult just keep enjoying your life and have a great time. Overall still a great movie worth seeing Thumbs up

Troy Putland Big is the ultimate classic, feel-good, relaxing, stress-free movie. I literally cannot say a bad word about it Tom Hanks', in his early 30's, plays a 13 year old whose wish to be bigger is answered. Hanks is pure delight, capturing a young heart in an adult's form with ease. Big is outrageously funny, even when it's not trying to be, all thanks to Hanks. The idea of a boy becoming an adult overnight is a little odd, a tiny bit misconstrued, but never, ever, breaks my disbelief. The most beautiful point about Big is seeing a boy wish he was older, but wanting to keep his innocence at the same time. Stand out moments: when Hank's in a hotel room in the scary Big Apple, petrified of the noises around him, and another at a dinner party, testing out fanciful food. Priceless on all accounts.
