Big Ratings e Recensioni
- ርልዪረ27 gennaio 2025This 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.
- mickerdoo7 agosto 2025Hanks embodies spirit of a kid with perks of looking older. Relatable human emotions. Rushton, Perkins, Loggia and Heard are great.
- TV watcher29 dicembre 2025Entertaining with an interesting but also funny plot.

OOH, SHELLY'S OUT, WALKING DOWN THE STREET, TEN TIMES A WEEK. I READ IT. I SAID IT. I STOLE MY MOMMA'S CREDIT. I'M COOL. I'M HOT. SOCK ME IN THE STOMACH THREE MORE TIMES.
- tmmzh10 giugno 2025A childhood favorite of mine! Doubtful it could be made now. But that's what was so magical about 80s movies. They can't be reproduced. ...not well anyway
- Dave17 novembre 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 dicembre 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.
