The Perils of Growing Up

Reviewed in the United States on October 18, 2015

Verified Purchase

Maybe I always read too much into what was supposed to be a fairly light 1980’s movie. Everyone has been a kid and unable to do something because of their size and age and wish we were grown because grown-ups can do everything, right? Big presents the perils of wanting to grow up too soon and the dangers of thinking too much like an adult. Of course no one can avoid growing up, but it really does make one pause and consider the things that we lose as we grow up.

While its meant to be a comedy, there’s an underlying darkness or melancholy that surrounds elements of this movie because Josh knows he doesn’t belong in the adult world because he’s 12, but yet he feels things in the adult world that can’t be taken back. I prefer to think of Big as a message to never lose that childhood element of yourself that is imaginative and creative mixed with the spirit of anything is possible. All too often it vanishes with age.

These are just a few thoughts I have.

Big Gets Five Stars Even With a Couple of Flaws

Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

As a person who loves extras on DVDs, this product is a real winner. It has both a Blu-ray and DVD disk. The DVD only has a trailer as an extra as all the other bonus items are on the Blu-ray copy. These disks come in the normal smaller Blu-Ray keepsake box and each has its slot to fit into. I had absolutely no play issues with either disk.

The movie, of course, is wonderful. It's a great comedy and pretty much my type of movie. There's not much I'd change, except for a line of profanity that I never like. Regardless, my review here is focused on the bonus material and the set itself.

The one thing I really disliked about the set up of the extras was that instead of utilizing the entire screen to show a list of the extras, there is just a small box near the bottom that had two lines only of description. You have to use the down arrow to move from item to item and sometimes from left to right to make a selection. This was not user friendly in my view. Also, while they had a wonderful play all option for deleted scenes that even included the option of whether or not to include director Penny Marshall's comments, they did not include a play all button for all of the trailers and TV spots.

The rest is pretty much all good. There are several featurettes on how the movie came to be with Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg being interviewed. As mentioned, there are several deleted scenes, including some with the Marshall intros. Frances Fisher is included in one of those. There is a featurette that deals with the real life toy makers, like the ones depicted in the film. An episode of Hollywood Backstories focused on Big is included. There's also a short piece on a carnival that was part of the premier with Tom Hanks.

The Blu-ray disk contains both the original theatrical cut and the extended version that has all of the deleted scenes included in the movie. In addition, there is commentary by Ross and Spielberg. However, the commentary is not like what is normally found. In the features, you hear a lot about audiotapes that Spielberg made while she and Ross were brainstorming and developing Big. In the commentary, they actually play several large sections of the tapes. Then they talk about it. It is not a case of them watching the movie and then talking about what is happening; rather, it's the playing of the tapes and then talking about how things happened. It's pretty fascinating if you enjoy really learning about the evolution of a project.

Finally, there are a couple of Zoltar Speaks cards included.

My only regret about the extras is that apparently Tom Hanks did not participate at all. He's seen in vintage clips from the day, but he did not do any of the updated clips from when the disks were released. I did enjoy seeing the two young boys featured as Josh and Billy, now grown up, in the extras.

The extras were well done and made me a happy one for adding this movie to my collection. Even with my frustration at the special features set up and the lack of Hanks' participation, I'm still giving it 5 stars.

Tom Hanks still charms after all these years...

Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2021

Verified Purchase

I’ll never forget the first time I watched Big and how I fell in love with the talent of Tom Hanks. He’d been around, but this guy was already starting to stand out as a spectacular talent - you just knew he was going to have an amazing career. What he brought to Big all those years ago he brings to every role, in a different way. But here - for me in many ways - is where it all started. At least, that’s how I remember it. Now all these years later, spending time with Big is like hanging with an old friend - just as warm, comfortable, and memorable. I’m so glad Amazon had a nice deal because we’ve added it to our streaming library.

What happens when one young boy decides life would be better if he were Big? That’s the simple, but brilliant premise here. It’s brilliant because I highly doubt ANY of us hasn’t thought of that at least once in our lives... but when you’re younger you can’t wait to be Big and when you’re older... you finally get it. So anyone watching - or rewatching at another time of life - will come away with various outlooks on how this question would be, play out, and make life be. Tom Hanks being the kid in the man’s body was pretty much meant to play the role - he inhabits this young boy as likely no one else would or could. All these years later, my wife and I have enjoyed the visit again... and we look forward to even more. Tom Hanks lets us relive that dream of being older when young, and appreciating being older when you get there... tell me he isn’t an amazing talent...

This Movie is TIMELESS

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2016

BIG is a classic movie that will remain a classic for years to come. The concept and premise of this movie is so relatable to kids today, especially if they are short for their age or simply those who wish they could grow up faster than they are. While there is some adult humor that suggests that this movie is more for adults looking back on their childhood rather than kids looking forward to their adulthood, it really suggests to the adult world that life can be a whole lot less complicated than we actually make it. It is worth a trip to IMDb app to see all the goofs and trivia associated with the making of this movie. Big definitely needs to be a movie that remains in your home library for years to come.

Possibly my fav all time Movie

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 22, 2020

Verified Purchase

What can I say, I absolutely love this Movie and I’m so happy to own it, finally.
This is quite possibly my fav all time Movie. It’s a toss up between this and Home Alone. I’d have paid as much as £100 for this Movie if I had to but am really happy that I paid only £6. Absolute barging. I grew up in the 80’s and personally think that movies from 80’s/90’s are way better then the poor excuse for modern Movies. Here’s some classics that I’m planning on buying and you must watch if you’ve not already done so.
Home Alone
Stand By Me
Predator
Terminator
Top Gun
point Blank
Coming To America
Training Places
Forest Gump.

The Extended Cut is a great extra to a already great 80's classic

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 17, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is my first ever Tom Hanks film and I have never been disappointed by him as an actor. He may not have starred in classic after classic but his performances have always been strong and grounded.

I have owned Big on Video and DVD and thought to myself when first starting up my Blu-Ray collection whether I would need this film on HD as its not like there is anything within the film that demands the HD format. The Region 1 DVD served up an Extended Edition to which I had never seen and decided this would be the only reason to double dip. When it was announced that the UK would be getting a Blu-Ray release I looked straight for the Extended Edition and to my 80's geeky faced delight there it was announced as the very first extra on the disc.

Now it isn't my favourite cut of the movie. The theatrical cut still holds my number one spot but to see the extra 20 or minutes of extra footage included in the film is very interesting but slows the pace down of the original cut so for that reason the first will always be my favourite which is also included.

There are many other nice additions to the extras including commentaries, deleted scenes, and other featurettes to make this the definitive release you will only ever need.

Exceptional service.

Wonderful film, a firm favourite and I'm so glad to own it! However, my main thanks and surprise is to absolutely congratulate and thank again the supplier. The first copy sent (a gift for family) was faulty with a couple of inches at the top of the film all lines, anyway on reporting it faulty it was IMMEDIATELY replaced within a couple of days!! Brilliant service!! Also advised not to bother returning the faulty copy which I'm reluctant to destroy in case it should go back at some stage, but really exemplary service, very, very grateful and utterly impressed....again, THANK YOU.

This was one of the must-see movies of the 80s. The adventure starts when Josh (played by Tom Hanks) is at a fairground and makes a wish through a Zoltar machine to be big. Josh wakes up the following day to find himself in the body of an adult. I rate this movie 8 out of 10.

Big comedy with a big heart.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 2, 2011

Verified Purchase

Tired of being small, 12 year old Josh Baskin makes a wish on a funfair fortune telling machine that he wants to be big. He awakes in the morning to find that he is in the body of an adult but still the same young Josh within. Chaos quickly takes hold and Josh has to flee to the city. Where, aided by his best friend Billy, they hope to track down the now moved on "Zoltar" machine and wish Josh back to his normal self. But it's going to take time to track it down so Josh has to take a job and things are about to get interesting indeed.

Tom Hanks (Adult Josh) was literally just around the corner from hitting the A list of Hollywood. His performance in this smashing, bittersweet comedy bagged him an Oscar nomination and helped him turn that particular corner. Directed by Penny Marshall, Big is arguably the best of all the body-swap comedies that have dotted themselves along the plentiful cinematic road. Receiving critical acclaim on release, its success lies not just in its appealing for the majority fairytale formula, but also with the star turn from Hanks, astute writing (Gary Ross/Anne Spielberg) and adroit direction.

It's not just a ball of fluff movie either, in amongst the plentiful laughs and heart lifting moments, there's food for thought involving life and its pacing. And there's a big intriguing ponder constantly hanging in the air; viewing the world thru a child's eyes may actually make more sense, especially in business! These things are given impetus by Hanks' fabulous show, from his terrifying first night in the city alone, to the sexual awakening brought out by his relationship with Elizabeth Perkins' (sparky and effective) Susan Lawrence (the latter of which is smoothly handled by Marshall), Hanks convinces and takes us with him into his new confusing world. Fine support comes from Robert Loggia as the boss won around by Josh's playful approach to work, and Jared Rushton as best friend Billy gives the film a firm footed axis between the old & young Josh.

There's some itches there, such as the barely registered grief of the parents missing a child, and there's always the old inevitability chestnut to linger in the background. But they are but mere small flaws in an otherwise wonderful movie. A film that both children and adults can watch and garner some form of resonance from. 8.5/10
