- ርልዪረJanuary 27, 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.
- Tony GNovember 21, 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. SHIMMY, SHIMMY, COCOA POP. SHIMMY, SHIMMY, ROCK. I MET A GIRLFRIEND — A TRISCUIT. SHE SAID, A TRISCUIT, A BISCUIT. ICE CREAM, SODA POP, VANILLA ON THE TOP.

- DaveNovember 17, 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.
- mickerdooAugust 7, 2025Hanks embodies spirit of a kid with perks of looking older. Relatable human emotions. Rushton, Perkins, Loggia and Heard are great.
- tmmzhJune 10, 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
- CallumDecember 11, 2024Classic Tom Hanks in a classic body swap style movie
