Hvor man kan se Big
- mgrunner19. september 2026Big is one of those films that perfectly captures the warmth and lightness of the 1980s. Beneath its simple fantasy premise, it is really about growing up without completely losing the curiosity, honesty, playfulness, and sense of wonder that belong to childhood. Tom Hanks makes that idea work beautifully. His character enters the adult world with the openness of a child and, in doing so, exposes how complicated, serious, and emotionally restricted that world can become. The film is funny, charming, and effortlessly nostalgic, but there is also something quietly melancholic underneath it. Growing up is inevitable, yet Big gently reminds us that becoming an adult does not have to mean abandoning the child within. For me, that is what makes it one of the defining feel-good films of the 1980s.
- Andrea Hamling7. august 2026Pure 80s gold! The kid can act, it’s a heartwarming story and it’s quite funny. Loved it as a kid and I still do 30 years later.
- Tony G21. november 2025THE SPACE GOES DOWN, DOWN BABY, DOWN, DOWN THE ROLLER COASTER. SWEET, SWEET BABY, SWEET, SWEET, DON'T LET ME GO. SHIMMY, SHIMMY, COCOA POP. SHIMMY, SHIMMY, ROCK.

- tellum28. juni 2026Tom Hanks portrayal of a child in an adults body is so convincing that it’s kinda disturbing the more you think about it.
- Dave17. november 2025Great freaking movie! Although I can recognise it aged well in some areas and not in others. Imagine a 12 year old kid becoming an adult and subsequently having lots of sex with a 30 something year old adult in a modern movie.... I think the only guy whod produce it would be Harvey Weinstein.

- Callum11. december 2024⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Big – Growing up sounded great… until it wasn’t. My original take on this was something like “Classic Tom Hanks in a classic body-swap movie”, and that feels almost quaint now. This is one of those films that reveals more of itself the older you get, without ever losing what made it magical in the first place. What kid hasn’t wanted to grow up fast — like, RIGHT NOW fast? Not someday. Not gradually. Just wake up and be done with it. Big taps straight into that universal wish, then has the honesty to show what happens when you actually get it. The cool bits arrive first… and then the bill comes due. Tom Hanks is phenomenal here. I know a lot of people point to the 2000s or even the 2010s as the peak of his career, but honestly — he was already operating at an incredible level in the ’80s. The way he captures a child’s excitement, confusion, and eventual disillusionment inside an adult body is pitch-perfect. It’s funny, yes, but it’s also quietly heartbreaking in places. Rewatching this now, there’s also a deep hit of nostalgia. As a child of the ’80s, it’s impossible not to smile at the world on display — kids actually being kids, no phones glued to hands, no social media noise, just arcades, toys, and imagination. That joy hits first… and then the film reminds you it isn’t just a time capsule. Once the story really gets going, it delivers on every level. A kid wishes to be older. He gets it. He moves to the biggest, best city he can imagine. He lands a job at a toy company (and yes, the sheer wall of ’80s toys is a joy in itself). He gets a girlfriend. And then, slowly but surely, it all starts to fall apart as he realises adulthood isn’t the fantasy he thought it was. That’s why this keeps getting rewatched. We all recognise ourselves in it, whether we’re longing for the future or quietly wishing we could step back for a moment. It’s funny, warm, honest, and endlessly relatable — a true classic that earns its place every single time. 🥤 A fizzy cola from a corner shop — sweet, nostalgic, and guaranteed to make you feel like a kid again.
