| Plot |
| More than anything else, 13-year old New Jerseyite Josh ( David Moscow ) wants to be "big". That's the wish he makes at an odd-looking amusement pier fortunetelling machine. The next morning, Josh wakes up-only to discover that he's grown to manhood overnight! (At this point, the part is taken over by Tom Hanks ). Still a 13-year-old mentally and emotionally, Josh decides to hide out in New York City until he can figure out what to do next. He lucks into a job with a major toy company run by kid-at-heart McMillan ( Robert Loggia ). By cannily bringing a child's eye view to McMillan's business, Josh rises to the top-and in process, he falls in love with fellow employee Susan ( Elizabeth Perkins ). But he's still a kid, and he'd like to go back to his own world and own body. Written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg , Big proved a crucial success for budding director Penny Marshall , who'd work harmoniously with Hanks again on the radically different A League of Their Own . The cinematography was by Barry Sonenfeld , who went on to become a director himself with The Addams Family . That Big was heavily reliant upon the input of Tom Hanks and Penny Marshall was proven by the failed attempt to turn the property into a Broadway musical. — Hal Erickson |
