A young boy makes a wish at a fairground machine to be big. He wakes up the following morning to find that his wish has been granted and his body has grown older over night. But he is still the same 12 year old kid on the inside. Now he must learn how to cope with the unfamiliar world of grown ups including getting a job, and having his first romantic encounter with a woman. This movie is timeless, entertaining, moving, splendidly written and stylishly directed classic. If you haven't seen this marvelous first rate comedy try to find it out as fast as you can. Tom Hanks is spectacular.

Funny, but very 80s
Added 1/17/2010
When I first watched "Big," I loved it. I thought it was hilarious. However, more recently, the film strikes me as too 80s. Some of the humor is corny. The whole influence of the toy industry seems outdated (conventional toys seem to be much less important nowadays than video games). It's still a good movie, but I'm not sure how it'll wear with time. Definitely worth your checking out, but probably not a movie you'll rewatch frequently.

A great movie, I saw this in the theater and I wanted to give it to a friend as a gift. I had a little trouble finding it but found it here for the best price.

BIG a great special film with worthless extended scenes
Added 9/12/2009
the blu-ray itself (as in any remastered film) is much better than any current or previous version. but as for being a "director's cut" or extended version, there's essentially not a single scene included that adds anything at all to the storytelling. the theatrical version is far superior.

I've always loved this movie. It's great for the entire family and is one of my favorites with Tom Hank in it.
