Subscribe FreeBig is the charming comic fantasy of a 12 year-old boy named Josh who becomes trapped in the body of a man, ingeniously played by Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump), whose performance earned him an Academy Award® nomination in 1988. While visiting a carnival Josh makes a wish to be big. To his amazement the next morning he finds he is full grown. His transformation causes problems, his mother thinks he has been kidnapped and one hilarious scene follows another as he makes it in the adult world. He lands a job in a toy company, where, because of his enthusiasm for the products, he is promoted to vice president and soon an ambitious career woman (Elizabeth Perkins) sets her sights on him. Big is hilarious family fun.
