Editorial Review:
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

Rating:  - Love this movie!
It took a little long to arrive, but it did not arrive late. Packaged and sealed, watched movie, no problems, no damage, easy to find online, easy pay. Ye-ah!
Rating: - Suspend disbelief, sit back, have fun
Never mind the Zoltar Speaks magic ticket, the missing kid whose name is on every milk carton but who happens to be working for a toy company, etc. Forget about it. Just sit back and enjoy the entertaining, sweet, and touching but never gooey ride. Tom Hanks and Elizabeth Perkins are wonderful together as the boy in a man's body and a love-starved woman.
The kid playing Hanks' best friend is great as well. And it will remind you of the old adage, "Be careful what you wish for--you might ... Read More
Rating: - Timeless Classic
I went to the same highschool as Tom. He graduated 4 years after me. Great actor and there are very few dvds that I buy (only the classics); this one falls into that category.
Rating:  - Tom Hanks in 1988
Tom Hanks is one of my all time favorite actors. I have loved his work ever since "Bosom Buddies" with Peter Scolari and Donna Dixon. This movie is so much fun, one that can be enjoyed over and over again. Hanks is especially adorable in this film. He plays the 12 year old "Josh" perfectly. And who can not love the scene in the toy store where Hanks's and Robert Loggia's characters are playing Heart and Soul on the giant floor piano.
Rating: - One great big fun filled movie watching experience...
The fact that I absolutely adore this movie comes as a huge shock to me since Tom Hanks is one of those actors I find completely overrated. There are really only a handful of his films I can even attest to enjoying (`Cast Away', shockingly, as well as `Saving Private Ryan') but for the most part I find his work a tad overrated (ala `Forest Gump' and `Philadelphia'). `Big', of all of Hanks' work, is probably my favorite. It is most definitely my favorite performance he's ever given and honestly ... Read More
