Movie Reviews of Big
Movie Review: The Funniest Movie Ever
Summary: 5 Stars
This Movie touched my heart in More ways then one, I remember when I was a 12-year-old, and sometimes I wish I could have a job like his, testing out toys, just to act 12 again. After being turned away from a ride because he was too short, he wishes to a machanical genie to make him "big". He thought the genie didn't work and he started to kick it, but when he woke up the next morning, boy was he wrong. This movie was always a favorite and makes me laugh every time I watch it. It touches the bases of adult and child issues in a genius way. Penny Marshal(director) is brilliant and thinks up some of the funniest material I have ever imagined. In one scene, the 12-year-old boy(Tom Hanks) was given a baby corn as a side dish and tried to eat it like real corn on the cobb. I love this movie and could watch it over and over again. If you watch it, you will realize that you could too!Movie Review: Wonderful Film -- so/so DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
The only reason I bought this film was to finally be able to see BIG in its original widescreen version (lately, this is the only way I like to see films now, except for those old films that were not filmed in Cinemascope). Anyhow, the movie is wonderful and funny and very entertaining. I forgot how GOOD Tom Hanks is in this movie which could have very well been a bomb.The DVD has nothing new to offer except for the original trailer and a few cast fimographies. I would have liked an audio commentary by Penny Marshall (this being, after all, the first movie directed by a woman to gross 100 million at the box office), or at least a "making of" feauturette (The internet movie database says that Marshall filmed the adult sequences with a young Josh first so that Hanks could see how a child would ineteract in his place).
Still, for the low price of this DVD, it is a bargain.
Movie Review: Great Great Great Great Great Great
Summary: 5 Stars
There are only so many movies that can compare to Big because of it's unique storyline and dialouge the idea of one day being twelve then overnight turning into a thrity something year old and getting the best job in the world is like every kids dream come true and that it happens at a carnival just sort of made me stay away from carnivals and the Zoltar machine for the rest of my natural born life. The best thing about Big is that it speaks to people of all ages not just to kids and not just to adults no matter how silly it becomes the adults will still watch it and laugh and incidentely at the same time as the kids not at the scenes that have hidden meaning just for the adults to understand. However it is a good thing that Big did well because if you call a movie Big and it doesn't do well than that is just the worst thing that could possibly happen.Movie Review: Great Move for many people
Summary: 5 Stars
This is just such a universally great movie. I think so many people will love it. One reviewer said it would be a good date movie. I think that is correct. It is funny and light. Just a good movie. I did see it on a date in fact. I had to have my family see it and they loved it too. I am not sure of the rating on this one, but I think this is pretty family friendly for most people. I do not thing there is anything super sensitive to people. Kids can see this and it would be just fine. It really is for kids of all ages. I do not want to give it away, but it involves toys and fortune. The details are all done so well. It is really great. I really do not all older movies, some get too dated, but this one will stand the test of time.Movie Review: Wonderful comedy!
Summary: 5 Stars
Laughs,Laughs,Laughs. This is a great funny movie for almost all ages! The concept is so good, with a bonus, humor! It is about a kid that wants to be an adult so bad, that one day he wishes for it, and of course, it comes true. Tom Hanks is wonderful, as in every movie he stars in. He has trouble at first and hets scared, but his kid-friend helps him find a place to live and work. He works as a toy tester at a toy invention place, which is perfect, because he has a kids mind. It is so funny how he acts around other adults, making them think it is too good to be true to have this guy working for them. He then begins missing the great things about being a kid, and wants to go back.
