Review of Big (1988) by Jason O — 07 Sep 2009
"Big" is the story of a kid , Josh (Tom Hanks) who wishes he was an adult, and a wizard machine at a carnival grants his wish, and boom, he's an adult. Soon he's finding out a lot of things about being an adult such as having a relationship with Susan (Elizabeth Perkins), and working for a living. Will Josh enjoy being a grownup and want to stay that way and change his whole life? Or will be miss being a kid and want to turn back into a kid? That's what makes this movie so interesting is watching Josh try to be a grownup, and wonder whether he'll decide to be a grownup or a kid.
Tom Hanks, like in just about all of his movies, does a great job in this one. It's funny and it's entertaining the whole way through. I recommend "Big" to anybody who likes good movies. NOTE: That was my Amazon review from the year 2000. This movie started the whole "transport to when you were younger" or "switch bodies w/so and so" genre.
