Big

It's a great humorous movie that depicts the version of childhood and adult life with its added responsibilities. Great movie!!

This is classic, a great movie for relaxing. The puns and the just the silly things that Josh (Tom Hanks) did made the movie really enjoyable. The character interactions between Josh and Susan (Elizabeth Perkins) was what made me laugh. Though it was slightly awkward for a 13 year old boy and a women to be having an affair, I think love is a experience that you only get when you're older. I believe that if Josh only chose to go back to being a 13 year old because he was afraid of working, his character wouldn't be as well developed. From the beginning to the end of the movie, clearly Josh turns from a child who wishes to grow up faster to one who faces the adult world and learns to cherish his youth. This character development that adds much value and makes the movie more meaningful. The message that I got from this movie is that we need to cherish childhood before it slips away and we become burdened by the responsibilities of adulthood.

I saw this movie when it was in theaters during the summer of 1988 and remembering how much myself and the other people laughed out loud at certain scenes (in particular, remembering the scene in the bathroom on the morning that Josh Baskin wakes up to find himself transformed from a 12-year-old boy into a man somewhere in his 30's, that scene caused a HUGE burst of laughter from the theater goers who were in attendance, I'll never forget the hearty guffaw one of my friends from that time of my life uttered spontaneously when Josh peeked inside his underwear in front of the bathroom mirror) I knew that I needed to own a copy of this on videotape. So, I went to Amazon.com and found the least costly option that was available, and it arrived in my mail a few days after I ordered it. All I can say is thank you to the folks who sent it to me. Favorite scenes of mine from the movie (specifically, scenes that "touch" me emotionally) include the following. First, the scene in the hotel room where 30-year-old Josh collapses onto his bed and bursts into tears, immediately pulling the curtain down over his head for protection against his cruel surroundings and beginning to become aware of the sometimes harsh realities of living in the adult world by crying out for his mother's protection: "Mom ... (sob, sob). Mom." The humor is in seeing a man who is somewhere in his 30's acting like a 12-year-old boy, for the transformation was only a purely physical one, I believe. That is, Josh retained the mind, heart and soul of a 12-year-old boy, having been transformed only physically into the body of a man who is somewhere in his 30's. Examples of this type of humor include seeing 30-year-old Josh slurping at the very bottom of drink cups with a straw, trying to eke out those last few drops of the drink in typical 12-year-old fashion, and the scene in the limousine with co-worker Susan where 30-year-old Josh seemingly ignores her pleas to him that the two of them get to know each other better, Josh instead crawls around the back seat of the limousine and tests out the various gadgets. He fiddles with the two overhead light switches, flipping them on and off, he makes the "unlock" button on the rear passenger-side door of the limousine pop up and down with a repetitive noise that gets the attention of the limousine driver, he fiddles with a portable phone, and Susan asks him, "You're going to call someone?" Josh replies, "No," and proceeds the fiddle with the controls on the limousine's radio, only to have Susan reprimand him by telling him not to do that. Josh eventually comes to the realization that he is not ready for the responsibilities and sophistication of being an adult, and seeks to find the fortune-teller machine, Zoltar, that changed him into an adult, in order that he can change back into his original 13-year-old self. A scene that evoked a big, heart-felt "Awwww..." from me was the scene where Josh, immediately after having been changed back into his 13-year-old self when Susan drops him off back at his parents' house in New Jersey, is re-united with his mother after a long absence. To see how much the two of them realize how much they really did miss each other in this final scene is VERY emotionally touching, at least I think so. I have no regrets about having purchased this item. I enjoyed the movie when I saw it in the theater, so a copy of it on video was a "must-have" for me! Thanks to my sellers.

Great movie

I am a big fan of Hoagy Carmichael's "Heart and Soul" and when I saw a brief clip of Tom Hanks playing this song on the step piano, I had to watch this movie. I tried to find it on Netflix to no avail. I tried Amazon Instant Video, but I decided to jump in and spend the extra $8 to have the Blu Ray copy. I am glad I did. This movie is a instant classic. I had no idea what I was in for. I don't want to ruin the movie, but it is a very funny movie in which Tom Hanks becomes BIG basically. Hanks does an amazing job acting like a 13 year old living as a 30 year old. The most memorable part was when Hanks and his boss were playing Heart and Soul as well as the Chopstick March on the step piano. Never once did the movie slow down or became boring. I was craving for more and fell in to the entire setting and the plot of the movie. The acting was great and the entire cast did an superb job. Overall, the movie deserves 5 stars for it's clever laughs, amazing acting, magnitude of imagination and nostalgia. Nonetheless, when the ending came along, I was left in shock wondering what just happened. Is that it? What happens next? There has to be additional footage. It cannot end like this. It called for a sequel perhaps, but I don't know if it ever came out. If someone knows, please inform me! If you never watched this movie and would like to experience 80's nostalgia, it is highly recommended. PROS: + Excellent Acting + Great Plot and Story + Worth the $10 to belong in my collection CONS: - Ending left more to be desired - Slightly grainy picture (not a big deal)

I’ll never forget the first time I watched Big and how I fell in love with the talent of Tom Hanks. He’d been around, but this guy was already starting to stand out as a spectacular talent - you just knew he was going to have an amazing career. What he brought to Big all those years ago he brings to every role, in a different way. But here - for me in many ways - is where it all started. At least, that’s how I remember it. Now all these years later, spending time with Big is like hanging with an old friend - just as warm, comfortable, and memorable. I’m so glad Amazon had a nice deal because we’ve added it to our streaming library. What happens when one young boy decides life would be better if he were Big? That’s the simple, but brilliant premise here. It’s brilliant because I highly doubt ANY of us hasn’t thought of that at least once in our lives... but when you’re younger you can’t wait to be Big and when you’re older... you finally get it. So anyone watching - or rewatching at another time of life - will come away with various outlooks on how this question would be, play out, and make life be. Tom Hanks being the kid in the man’s body was pretty much meant to play the role - he inhabits this young boy as likely no one else would or could. All these years later, my wife and I have enjoyed the visit again... and we look forward to even more. Tom Hanks lets us relive that dream of being older when young, and appreciating being older when you get there... tell me he isn’t an amazing talent...

Compared to earlier releases, this looks amazing! It doesn't have that sharpness that makes modern blu-rays amazingly detailed, but it's not needed or missed. Watching this is like watching it in a theater. If your TV or player has a Cinema or Movie mode (which mutes colors and/or softens the picture) turn it off. The movie already has the "soft" cinema look those modes induce. That being said, the colors are absolutely perfect, and it's hard to take your eyes away; especially if you've seen this before. The blacks are always inky, and overall there are never speckling or noise artifacts. The sound is punched up to modern standards as well (see below) and sounds amazing in surround (considering how the previous releases sounded). It's up to modern day standards for a drama/comedy. Dialog is clear and easy to understand, and surround and L/R components are present only when appropriate, not just to show off surround technology. But when it does kick in (for scenes with music, etc.), it's enveloping. Definitely up to par with modern movies. You have a choice of the regular or extended edition. The extended edition is fun. I've seen this movie many times, and the extra/extended scenes make it a lot of fun, since you never know when they're going to occur. Overall, if this is currently, or ever has been one of your favorites, you need to get it, even if you have it on DVD. It will be one of your favorites again!

Still very enjoyable to watch. It has Tom Hanks and that sums it up. A good supporting cast. It's good to watch and to be careful what you wish for!

One of Tom Hanks best movies. Makes you want to own a giant keyboard.

De las mejores pelis familiares de los 80. A mi me encanta y a mis hijos también.

A whimsical fantasy in the early career of Oscar Winner Tom Hanks. First of all it is very entertaining, and the supporting actors are superb, especially Robert Loscia who dares to tap dance the piano keys with Tom. A delightful sequence. The crux of the movie is a young boy wishing to grow up...so he grows up, but has to deal with all the boy-man issues too early. Eventually the spell wears off and shrinks back to reality in his big suit. Hanks did a lot of comedy movies early including The Burbs, and Money Pit, until he got serious about acting. A must have for your Tom Hanks library.
