Big (1988)

5 out of 5

 

I feel this movie all day man.  "That's a real hero on the

screen "- that is what I say when I watch this freekin

thing.  I say that because Tom Hanks is crazy in the

movie, and the other characters {with the exception of

haters} let him get wild again, and again, and again like

it's nothing. 

 

 

There are imitators of this behavior, but

they can go do whatever they want because Tom Hanks

is an American hero in this movie.  He's living the

American dream with his joking around, and with his

sincerity.  This movie's so funny!  It's about this kid

named Josh Baskin who wishes he was a man on the

scene.  The whole thing is so crazy, because his wish

COMES TRUE.  While on summer break from school, he

goes to the Jersey Shore and drops like 50 cents to talk

to Zoltan, a fantasy wish machine.  Josh begs Zoltan to

grow "BIG" and Zoltan blesses him like it's nothing. 

Then, he goes to Manhattan and works at a toy company,

making some of the most insane toys in years.  He also

puts imitators in their place. 

 

Many other crazy things happen to this man.  It is a

classic movie worth seeing as soon as you can.
