Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great nostalgic DVD!
It reminds me of what it’s like when a person is a 13-year-old adolescent in a 30-year-old grownup body. Tom Hanks is at his finest acting “immature” for his age.
Remember the “Heart and Soul” and “Chopsticks” scene at the toy store when the Tom Hanks character was having fun with his future boss while playing and dancing on the big “piano” together?
This movie may be dated for people younger than the Generation-X crowd who see that the technology is “primitive” (for example, “boring” text and graphics on an Apple II computer, which isn’t even a Mac). Nevertheless, those of that younger age will laugh because now online comic-book adventures are a dime a dozen.
In short, this DVD is a grab for the $4 price.

Tom Hanks at his finest!
Been wanting this movie on blu-ray/digital for a long time. Saw it at Best Buy and snatch it up. This is the movie that I watch when I'm missing my mom. This was her all time favorite movie(I still have the VHS tape she purchashed) and I love it too. I learned to play Chopsticks watching this movie!
Big is the stuff of little kids' dreams--a desire to do "big-kid stuff" with an equal desire for participating in childish activities and for avoiding responsibility. This is one of a few early films that proved Tom Hanks's greatness before the Academy recognized it. Infinitely rewatchable.
