Comwayon A Disappointing Continuation

HottWwjdIam There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

Grimossfer Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Matt Greene Big is a coming-of-age-&-then-regretting-it tale. In the beginning, it's sappy, stupid & generic…but once Hanks shows up? Pure gold. This definitely isn't hanks best movie, but it's maybe his greatest performance; he's so great at being a kid, but is even better as kid pretending to be an adult. They so perfectly captures the sweet mischievousness and naïve awkwardness of a teenage boy in an adult world.

studioAT This is one of those big comedies that Tom Hanks did so well at the start of his career, and yet doesn't do anymore. I think it's testament to this film that all these years later, and despite the success he's had in many other films, this is still one of the films that Tom Hanks is most associated with.It's a good film, one of the many 'body swap' films of the 80's. I think I prefer some of the others, but this has its moments, and a good central performance by Hanks.I found Elizabeth Perkins's character a bit dull throughout though. She goes from cold hearted business woman to viable love interest all too quickly.For a good 80's comedy you can't look further than 'Big'.

Predrag "Big" instantly became one of my favorite films. 20 years later, I can still say the same thing. This film not only "holds up" well, it is still a timeless classic. Hanks & Perkins give outstanding performances; instead of "playing" a 12 year old, Hanks actually becomes one. His innocence is totally believable. Perkins plays the part of the ambitious Susan to perfection, and she is the perfect love interest for Hanks. Talk about chemistry here! The acting was great and the entire cast did an superb job. The movie is definitely a feel-good piece, but it's more than just fluff. If you think about some of the messages, it's telling us just to take things at face value and enjoy life. Josh succeeds because he has no ulterior motives. We are regularly reminded about the importance of friendship, and how events in our lives can sometimes threaten our relationships with established friends when we find something or someone new that we think deserves our full attention. Of course, a good friend will forgive you for such indulgences.Overall, the movie deserves more 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 you never watched this movie and would like to experience 80's nostalgia, it is highly recommended! My Ratings: 9 out of 10.

Troy Putland Big is the ultimate classic, feel-good, relaxing, stress-free movie. I literally cannot say a bad word about it Tom Hanks', in his early 30's, plays a 13 year old whose wish to be bigger is answered. Hanks is pure delight, capturing a young heart in an adult's form with ease. Big is outrageously funny, even when it's not trying to be, all thanks to Hanks. The idea of a boy becoming an adult overnight is a little odd, a tiny bit misconstrued, but never, ever, breaks my disbelief. The most beautiful point about Big is seeing a boy wish he was older, but wanting to keep his innocence at the same time. Stand out moments: when Hank's in a hotel room in the scary Big Apple, petrified of the noises around him, and another at a dinner party, testing out fanciful food. Priceless on all accounts.
