Review

 

Tom Hanks won rave reviews for his Oscar nominated performance (1988, Best Actor) as a twelve-year old boy trapped inside a thirty-year-old body, in director Penny Marshall's winning comedy.

At a carnival, young Josh Baskin 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, naive 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.

If you take away the hype, over-rated and over-budgeted trash that Tom Hanks has starred in, you will realise that the best films he has done have been in his early career. 'Big' is by far Tom Hanks best film, without a doubt.
'Big' is a heart-felt, funny and emotional ride through childhood and unexpected adulthood that can be enjoyed by all.
But Hanks is definitely not the film's driving force, it's Jared Rushton's wonderful performance as Billy.
'Big' is an utter classic 80's comedy that will be and should be enjoyed for generations to come.
