Movie Review: Tom Hanks at his best......
Summary: 5 Stars
Of all the movies I've seen with Tom Hanks I'd have to say this is one of his best roles and probrably my favorite. It really touched me I think I cried. And it is so hilarious at times I could'nt watch...hehe One of my favorite parts is when he's at his first party, I love his suit. Its quite hilarious, includes the corn bit. And after the party when he has that chick sleep over. Its very cute and funny. I love it.I mean sure this is a fantasy, but I think it perfectly illistrates what happens to us as adults as we grow out of childhood. How we lose alot of what may have been so special about us. And how we get so busy we have time for nothing but work. Or we choose not to. I think part of the reason it touched me so because I was working incredibly hard at the time and not doing anything but work just like Hanks charcter.
Anything is that I actually believe Hanks really is a child trapped in the body of an older man. It really does seem like he is. I mean he really becomes this person. Not just acting but being them. And that my friend is what makes a GREAT actor.
So like someone else said if you enjoy comedy,fanatsy, and/or romance you'll love this movie.
*Enjoy!*
God Bless&*Love* always ~Amy
Movie Review: I wish I were Big
Summary: 5 Stars
Big is a great comic fantasy starring one of today's biggest stars Tom Hanks. BIg is a supurb film that should be treasured for a long time. Hanks is fantasic as Josh Baskin. Big is about a 13 year old boy that wishes he was big, this all happened at a carnival one night where he couldn't get on a ride that requred a height limit. So he goes to a machine that has a look of a devil named Zoltar and he wishes his wish and the dream came true the next morning. The movie has its moments were he's trying to get a job and doesn't know his social scurity number and uses his friend's locker combo as the number. Also the famous scene were he's playing chopsticks with his manager{Robert Loggia} on a Saturaday morning at FAO Schartz. There's also some touching moments in this movie were he's walking and he sees his girlfriend in school and a class photo being taken, that was a bit touching. Also when he's trying to say goodbye to his girlfriend {Elizabeth Perkins} that he works with. If you like comedy, fantasy and romance this is the movie for you. THe DVD is not that bad it has a few production notes and a theatrical trailer.Movie Review: Big (homework)
Summary: 5 Stars
Josh finds a machine at the carnival. He wishes to become big as he thinks it will make him more confident around the girl he likes. The next day, he finds himself as a full grown adult. Him and his best friend travel to New York in search of the machine to wish himself back as a 12 year old kid again. While living in New York, Josh has many responsibilities as he maintains a job. He also deals with his relationship with Susan. In the end, Josh has to decide weather to stay as an adult, or return to being a kid again.
I enjoyed watching this movie. It deals with the many problems that adults and kids face. It teaches kids that growing up aren't all fun and games and that they have more responsibilities as an adult. I would recommend this movie to anyone who enjoys a good comedy. Seeing how a kid takes on adult responsibilities is comical. One of my favorite scenes is when McMillan and Josh play on the giant piano. The actor's play the roles very well as you forget how absurd it is for a kid to wake up as an adult. I highly recommend this movie.
Movie Review: excellent movie, some rough language
Summary: 5 Stars
I wholeheartedly agree with all of the glowing reviews on this site, and this movie is probably one of the most magical I have ever seen. However, the PG rating is because of some coarse language which Amazon does not mention specifically. I watched it with my daughter when she was 8, and since I had seen the movie when it first came out many years prior, I couldn't recall exactly what was in it. Well....it does have the F word and I believe also g-d-mn, so if you prefer that your kids not hear that kind of language in a movie you have chosen then you might want to hold off on this one for a few more years (although they may be hearing those words and worse on their school bus anyway). There is also a scene where the girlfriend comes to spend the night, her shirt gets unbuttoned and you see her bra....so just know that depending on your child's level of knowledge about sex, etc you may get questions you aren't ready for!
Other than this it is a terrific movie and definitely one of the most creative of Tom Hanks' career.
Movie Review: The best of the body swap films...
Summary: 5 Stars
... and there's no body swapping in it!
This film has aged really well; the comedy and dialogue is really sharp, the acting is believable and there's never a dull moment. Instead of going over the story, I want to quote what screenwriting legend, Robert McKee wrote about the film which rings true; "At the crisis, Josh [Tom Hanks] faces irreconcilable goods; an adult life with a fulfilling career and the woman he loves verus a return to adolescence. He makes the mature choice to have his childhood expressing with fine irony that he at last became 'big'. For he and we sense that the key to maturity is to have had a complete childhood. But becuase life has short-changed so many of us in youth, we live, to one degree or another, in a false sense of maturity. BIG is a very wise film."
Sure the toys have changed and yes, Billy Idol is tied to the soundtrack but the message still remains the same. This should be required viewing for all families.
