Leave your thoughts about Big.
| Nolan's Pop Culture ReviewMichael A. SmithGreat performance by Hanks makes this a winner. |
| Capital Times (Madison, WI)Rob ThomasWill always remain Hanks' best comic performance. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealHanks so convincingly played a grown-up with a 12-year-old mind that he transformed instantly in the public eye from a run-of-the-mill comedy star to a respected actor with limitless potential. |
| USA TodayDonna BrittBig is a winning, charming film, primarily because Hanks makes it work. He is extraordinarily convincing as an adolescent who suddenly finds himself dealing with a new, adult body, responsibilities, and a romantic relationship, while simultaneously trying to survive vicious corporate infighting. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliAlthough Big is generally lighthearted, it rarely plays for stupid laughs. There are a few of these, but the film avoids sacrificing character integrity for the cheap guffaw. |
| Internet ReviewsSteve RhodesHanks gives one of the best performances of his impressive career. |
| Apollo GuideGuy MacPhersonKids will love the laugh-out-loud fantasy. Adults will laugh, too, as well as appreciate the sweetness that lies underneath. |
| Washington PostHal HinsonBig has a warmhearted sweetness that's invigorating; it makes you want to break out the Legos. It's only near the end of the film, when Hanks has to play the scenes for pathos, that the movie becomes cloying. |
| Groucho ReviewsPeter CanaveseOne of Hollywood's all-time most appealing magic realist fantasies. [Blu-ray] |
| New York Daily NewsKathleen CarrollThe film succeeds largely because of the splendid performance of Tom Hanks -- who is irresistibly funny as "big" Josh. |
