## Description

Product Description
        	
        	
        		
        			At a carnival, young Josh Baskin (HANKS) wishes he was big-only to awake the next morning and discover he is! With the help of his friend Billy (JARED RUSHTON), Josh lands a job at a toy company. There, his inner wisdom enables him to successfully predict what children want to buy, making the awestruck, na&#xEF;ve Josh irresistible to a beautiful ladder-climbing colleague (ELIZABETH PERKINS). But the more he experiences being an adult, the more Josh longs for the simple joys of childhood.

        			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

    The Perils of Growing Up
  

*by M***D on October 18, 2015*









  
  
    Maybe I always read too much into what was supposed to be a fairly light 1980’s movie. Everyone has been a kid and unable to do something because of their size and age and wish we were grown because grown-ups can do everything, right? Big presents the perils of wanting to grow up too soon and the dangers of thinking too much like an adult. Of course no one can avoid growing up, but it really does make one pause and consider the things that we lose as we grow up.While its meant to be a comedy, there’s an underlying darkness or melancholy that surrounds elements of this movie because Josh knows he doesn’t belong in the adult world because he’s 12, but yet he feels things in the adult world that can’t be taken back. I prefer to think of Big as a message to never lose that childhood element of yourself that is imaginative and creative mixed with the spirit of anything is possible. All too often it vanishes with age.These are just a few thoughts I have.

    Big Gets Five Stars Even With a Couple of Flaws
  

*by O***N on February 6, 2016*









  
  
    As a person who loves extras on DVDs, this product is a real winner.  It has both a Blu-ray and DVD disk.  The DVD only has a trailer as an extra as all the other bonus items are on the Blu-ray copy.  These disks come in the normal smaller Blu-Ray keepsake box and each has its slot to fit into.  I had absolutely no play issues with either disk.The movie, of course, is wonderful.  It's a great comedy and pretty much my type of movie.  There's not much I'd change, except for a line of profanity that I never like.  Regardless, my review here is focused on the bonus material and the set itself.The one thing I really disliked about the set up of the extras was that instead of utilizing the entire screen to show a list of the extras, there is just a small box near the bottom that had two lines only of description.  You have to use the down arrow to move from item to item and sometimes from left to right to make a selection.  This was not user friendly in my view.  Also, while they had a wonderful play all option for deleted scenes that even included the option of whether or not to include director Penny Marshall's comments, they did not include a play all button for all of the trailers and TV spots.The rest is pretty much all good.  There are several featurettes on how the movie came to be with Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg being interviewed.  As mentioned, there are several deleted scenes, including some with the Marshall intros.  Frances Fisher is included in one of those.  There is a featurette that deals with the real life toy makers, like the ones depicted in the film.  An episode of Hollywood Backstories focused on Big is included.  There's also a short piece on a carnival that was part of the premier with Tom Hanks.The Blu-ray disk contains both the original theatrical cut and the extended version that has all of the deleted scenes included in the movie.  In addition, there is commentary by Ross and Spielberg.  However, the commentary is not like what is normally found.  In the features, you hear a lot about audiotapes that Spielberg made while she and Ross were brainstorming and developing Big.  In the commentary, they actually play several large sections of the tapes.  Then they talk about it.  It is not a case of them watching the movie and then talking about what is happening; rather, it's the playing of the tapes and then talking about how things happened.  It's pretty fascinating if you enjoy really learning about the evolution of a project.Finally, there are a couple of Zoltar Speaks cards included.My only regret about the extras is that apparently Tom Hanks did not participate at all.  He's seen in vintage clips from the day, but he did not do any of the updated clips from when the disks were released.  I did enjoy seeing the two young boys featured as Josh and Billy, now grown up, in the extras.The extras were well done and made me a happy one for adding this movie to my collection.  Even with my frustration at the special features set up and the lack of Hanks' participation, I'm still giving it 5 stars.

    An iconic movie that still holds up today!
  

*by D***A on September 10, 2016*









  
  
    An iconic movie that still holds up today.. Just rewatched this 80s flick with my son and I was a bit concerned that the movie would fall flat on its face. But I was wrong. There are a few things that are odd like Hank's character working in the "computers" department, lots of wired phones, and the sort of creepy dramatic irony that comes with an adult woman getting turned on by a character that the audience knows to be just a boy (actually goes much farther than that but you will have to watch to see what I mean)....  But the iconic moments (chopsticks, "I get to sleep on top," etc.) of the film resonated with my son just as they did with me almost 30 years ago. Is it time for a remake? Anyway, defiantly great for a night in with the family, just be ready for a few PG-13 moments...
