Product Description
Amazon.ca
A perfect marriage of novel but incisive writing, acting, and direction, Big is the story of a 12-year-old boy who wishes he were older, and wakes up one morning as a 30-year-old man (Tom Hanks). The script by Gary Ross (Dave) and Anne Spielberg finds some unexpected ways of attacking obvious issues of sex, work, and childhood friendships, and in all of these things the accent is on classy humor and great sensitivity. Hanks is remarkable in the lead, at times hilarious (reacting to caviar just as a 12-year-old would) and at others deeply tender. Penny Marshall became a first-rate filmmaker with this 1988 work. --Tom Keogh

I love this movie for so many reasons. It's one of those cozy, feel-good cozy movies that just brings me back to when I first watched it as a kid. Tom Hanks is obviously awesome in it. Big is a great flick for anyone who enjoys his work.

Bravo, avec cette édition du réalisateur, c'est formidable de voir plus de scènes inédites du film. Bien que ce film a plus de 20 ans, la restauration de l'image est excellente.
Un film très actuel et toujours un plaisir à regarder.

Perfect Date Movie
"Big" is funny. Tom Hanks in "Big" is as funny as in Forrest Gump, as touching as "Sleepless in Seattle," and as goofy as "Tuner and Hooch. Read more
