Big (1988)

There’s something about Big that’s still charming despite its years. I think its Tom Hanks. He’s portrayal of a 13 year old boy in a 30 year old body is exceptional. Get past the dated feel of the movie and you will enjoy the look of innocence, fear, and confusion found herein as Josh (Hanks) acclimates to life as a man.

You know the story. His boyish soul helps him climb the corporate ladder in a toy company much to the chagrin of fellow workers. He meets a girl, has an amazing penthouse—everything he wanted as a boy, but somehow Josh finds himself longing for home.

As I see it, the fashion may be dated, but the theme of Big is timeless. A family must see!
