Big - 4 1/2 stars out of 5 stars

This might be the best movie,in the so called by me,genre of body change movies.My only issue and its"small"is no real science or attempt at it even.That said,Penny Marshall directed a fine cast led by Tom Hanks in a movie about a 13 year old who awakes one morning as a 30 something.Released in 1988 and running 104 minutes it touches a lot of bases and,well, the scene in the toy store with Robert Loggia is still a film classic.The idea of a 13 year old boy could rise in the toy industry while still being a "boy"is clever and keeping a close boyhood friend and even a brief communication with a distraught mother who knows not where he is or what happened to him is sadly moving.I have found other fine movies in this genre but few if any with all the mentioned components as well as fine laughs and clever situations.See the boardroom and right after the"I don't get it" dialogue.
Highly recommended for pure fun.Trailer URL follows the pix.
