'Big' is recognized as the film that launched Tom Hanks' career, a box office success, as well as a critical success, earning Tom Hanks his first of five Oscar nominations. Josh Baskin (Hanks) is a thirteen-year-old who, after getting embarrassed by being denied a ride on the roller coaster due to his height, wishes on a Zoltar machine to be older. His wish is granted and he becomes 30 years old. After his mother believes that he is lying about becoming 30 overnight and demands to know where her son is, Josh runs away to New York City, where he works at a toy company playing with new products and giving suggestions. He falls in love and feels conflicted between returning to his real age and living in his new life, which he greatly enjoys. 'Big' is a classic romantic comedy that features a young Tom Hanks' trademark voice and humor. If you're a Tom Hanks fan, along with the rest of the world, than you will certainly enjoy 'Big'. 6 out of 10 stars.
