Big (DVD, 1999)

This is a fun classic comedy (1988) with a really sweet love story wrapped into it. A little boy, Josh, wishes he were BIG (after seeing the girl he likes with a much bigger and older boy standing in line at a carnival ride) after putting a coin into a fortune telling machine. A card is then dispensed from the machine saying his WISH had been GRANTED! It is eerie because then he notices the machine wasn't even plugged in at the time!

After he wakes up the next morning, his body IS bigger- that of an adult man! Tom Hanks plays the part of the adult Josh, of course in his "mind" he is still a little boy! The resulting movie is hilarious but also has tender moments as he starts to fall in love with a lady co-worker, and she, with him. It is a very enjoyable film and it is PG so it is safe to watch with the kids.

A boy asks a mechanical swami at a fair to grant his wish to be grown up -- oops! Luckily his best friend recognizes him and helps him get a job at a toy factory where his fresh, uncomplicated innocence wins the president's respect, his colleagues' envy -- and a beautiful woman's love. Academy Award Nominations: Best Actor--Tom Hanks, Best (Original) Screenplay.

Big - A great story about a boy who wants to be big and makes a wish at a carnival. It comes true and he eventually finds himself successful at job and with a woman. If by some chance you haven't seen this movie, do yourself a favor and do so.

OK. It's Hanks - 'nuf said? This 1 appeals to all ages!

It's just human nature. The young dream of life as an adult; the grown yearn for the days of their youth. Hanks takes us all there, perfectly.

Great morals, too - don't wish away your youth AND don't rush your kids (they grow up fast enough)!

A must-see :-)

Shipped in a timely manner in great condition. Converting all my VHS tapes to DVD's and this was one of the last to get in my collection. Would definitely do business with this seller again.

This is a great family movie. I love the story and the actors. I highly recommend this movie for your collection.

Like Tom Hanks, It is one of his earlier movies and I first saw it on a lazer disk. Wanted to put it in my collection.

A retro Tom Hanks movie that is a thrill to watch and will bring back some great memories for the people that grew up with the movie. A very interesting and still fresh concept that will appeal to all audiences.

A must for any Tom Hanks fan. Loved the fact that it is great for both adults and children since some of the adult humor is not obvious to the young.

u cant beat tom hanks and this movie really gave me relaxation. it was early on in his career and was set in a home town like i live in

Tom Hanks is one of the best actors ever. I just love the scene at the buffet during the party. Every time I eat Chineese and see the baby corn on the cobb I think of this movie.

I'm impressed with how wonderful it stayed in the cover slip, that worked nicely. Sure there wasn't the hardcopy cover case, but still, its the dvd that counts, right? Good luck on more sales & thanks. This guy is good for sales.

"Big" is a light hearted comedy. The complicated adult world is deflated when the innocent simple faith of a child brightens the world around him. Hilarious situations kept me glued to this movie. Very good cast and performances.

It's a great movie. One of my favorite movies! I bought it because it's a movie that I always wanted in my DVD collection. Excellent

Funny is an understatement. Hanks will have you rolling on the floor. I love to watch this movie with my sons. It makes me long for my own childhood. The soundtrack is very good also.

i liked the fact that it was only 99 cents. i bought this movie because i used to watch it all the time growing up and i wanted to buy it again for dvd.
