ThiefHott Too much of everything
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
Maidexpl Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast
Zandra The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
bhavinshukla-39630 Again NO words to describe Hanks...and also the storyline.How do thay get this idea?
OneEightNine Media Even with this early film of his, you can see why Tom Hanks is one of the greatest living actors of our generation. Not many actors can pull off what Hanks does here. It is simply brilliant. The film is about a boy who makes a wish to "be big" and wakes up a 35 year old man. Tom does look a little young for the role, considering he was 32 at the time but looks 28; but maybe they did that for a reason. To make visually augment Hanks' performance. Who knows? Anyway this film is outstanding and etc, etc. Chances are that if you are reading this review, you've already seen and love this film.
chassenafeesah Tom Hanks played his character as Josh very well. It was as if he was a stranger in a strange land when the transformation occurred. When he hopped on the bus, I thought we'd he go with no/little insight of the 'real world"...reminds me of the song- "i'm a big big girl,in a big big world" by Britney Spears.The film gives us equal views of great laughter and insight into the world of both adulthood and adolescents. It gives older people a feel of situations through the eyes of a preteen.Sexuality and language is "well-curbed" portraying it as Innocent in the point of view of a child. It is a film which includes the whole family.
banyaaaan-t A boy, Josh, wishes to be an adult at a magic box in an amusement park. Next morning, he finds himself that he becomes big but no one can recognize him except for Billy, a friend of him. Until getting the magic box and back to child, Josh goes to New York and starts to work at a toy company. He succeeds in the work, because he is a child and knows what children like. He falls in love with a female coworker, but he is just a child. Very very young Tom Hunks, anyway he is a great actor since young. We grow up and forgot being childish in good meanings. We, adults, forgot being pure and enjoy every moment. We used to dream of becoming big, but are we what we dreamed in childhood?
