Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3/4 --
Penny Marshall brings a logic to the premise that is sustained through most of the movie. And where the other movies snickered at the sexual possibilities in the idea, she faces up to them with both candor and taste.

Philadelphia Inquirer
Tom Hanks accomplishes something quite special here....He convinces you that he really is a 12-year-old-trapped in a body 20 years older...
USA Today
...Funny, warm, sophisticated and above all, imaginative, from start to finish...
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 3.5/4 --
The film succeeds largely because of the splendid performance of Tom Hanks -- who is irresistibly funny as "big" Josh.

New York Daily News
Director Penny Marshall doesn't hammer any themes or satire into the film; she, quite shrewdly, keeps Big likeably small. The comedy is natural and unforced, in no small part because of Hanks' wonderfully slapstick performance.

Rating: A- --
Hanks, as a stranger in a strange land, gives us equal portions of laughs and insights into the worlds of both adults and adolescents. Big also offers up a very funny satire of corporate ladder climbing.
