Big Audience Reviews

Hadrina The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
Griff Lees Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Darin One of the film's great tricks is that, for a time, you think it will go down a rabbit hole of unrealistic glorification.
Staci Frederick Blistering performances.
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.
aliuelic Every child wants to become a grownup at some time. And a young boy named Josh had his wish come true by accident in the movie. This lucky big boy is portrayed by Tom Hanks. Wow, he is fabulous! I was so impressed by the scenes when big Josh had to spend the first night alone in a flophouse. He really made an 30-year-old adult with a 13-year-old mind come alive. There's a girl's version of Big called 13 Going on 30, but in my opinion it's not that good or charming by comparison.
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
banyaaaan-t A boy, Josh, wishes to be an adult at a magic box in an amusement park. Next morning, he finds himself that he becomes big but no one can recognize him except for Billy, a friend of him. Until getting the magic box and back to child, Josh goes to New York and starts to work at a toy company. He succeeds in the work, because he is a child and knows what children like. He falls in love with a female coworker, but he is just a child. Very very young Tom Hunks, anyway he is a great actor since young. We grow up and forgot being childish in good meanings. We, adults, forgot being pure and enjoy every moment. We used to dream of becoming big, but are we what we dreamed in childhood?
