Fun Fact: In the “Extended Edition” DVD, they have deleted scenes added back in. Billy’s family is huge, and he’s a middle child that gets ignored. They cut all of that backstory out. It establishes why he’s so close to Josh. He goes over there and spends a lot of time with him and his family. That’s why he’s out in NYC with Adult Josh, and his parents don’t seem to care where he’s at. Also, he told his mom he made the basketball team.

[@Jmiranda70]

Tom Hanks started out in a very successful Comedy Tv show and transitioned into making movies. He made several good quirky comedies, and was mainly known as a comedic actor. In BIG he continued to show comedic side but was able to showcase his real acting skills for the first time, with how he was able to transform convincingly into his character. This movie was a huge stepping stone stone, definitely a break out into more serious roles, but I think Forest Gump was his real breakout film as an A list actor

[@agarven1]

John Heard who plays Paul. I met him in 2005 when I worked for a security company for the tv show Prison Break. He was driven on a golf cart when he was passing and I waved to him and he waved back at me. He came back through the Prison and got to talk to him for a bit.

13 year old boys never found this movie creepy when it came out. Their minds were on something else. FYI: Tom Hanks has 8 movies and a lot of TV appearances prior to "Big" (1988). "Splash" (1983) was his first movie, second was "Bachelor Party" (1984). Both are recommended.

[@Dej24601]

The actress most definitely did NOT look “40” - she was in her late 20’s and looks her age. Her skin is flawless. Perhaps you are misled by the 80’s hairstyle, but she does not look anywhere near 40.

[@Tr0nzoid]

She easily looks like she could pass for a modern-day 40 year old, though, which generally look younger than that age did a few generations ago.

[@jkbrown5496]

50? Elizabeth Perkins, the actress, was only 28 in 1988. Women were more mature in the '70s and '80s apparently. As for romance, the 40 yr old man and 18 yr old girl was a popular coupling in the '70s and '80s. So this is a flip of Woody Allen's movies.

[@TheNightBadger]

'Popular'... can't recall that many movies with age gaps that large. Even in the only Woody movie where it happens - Manhattan - they make it a plot point of how odd it is (I think the girl is something like 18). Plus this isn't a Woody Allen style movie (for adults) it's a family fantasy - primary audience kids. And she actually has sex with him. And he's 12. Big difference between 12 and 18.

[@jkbrown5496]

@@TheNightBadger Well, at the same time the very popular 'Hill Street Blues' TV cop drama had the very old sergeant going on about his high school cheerleader girlfriend, who he marries in later seasons. And into the 1990s, the laws didn't cover older female/underage male sex. Only when the girl was younger.

@@jkbrown5496 I don't remember Hill Street Blues very well. I'm still not sure that makes it 'popular' at the time. There were some age-gap relationships sure, but even then middle-aged men and teen girls were frowned upon. Younger women yes, very young, not so much. Also, I'm pretty sure age of consent laws always covered boys as well as girls - even though I imagine society and the law treated them very differently.

He's alone in a scary place. He also knows that because he's a full grown adult. He can't go back home or his mother would not believe he is her son. All he can do is cry.

The other two starred Dudley Moore in one and Judge Reinhold in the other. I don't recall their titles. Penny Marshall's brother was Frank Marshall who also was a director and played Mr. Harvey (Harvey Candy Bars) in A League of Their Own.

In the beginning you asked about the driving age in the U.S. As an American who has taught English outside the U.S., I always told my students it’s better to look at the U.S. as being similar to the E.U. (European Union). That’s because each state has their own rules on: driving age, gun ownership, age of consent, traffic laws, liquor laws, gambling, marijuana laws, death penalty, taxes, and believe it or not there are states where beastiality is legal. And there are states like South Carolina that didn’t allow interracial marriage til the 2000’s. Each is very different in their own way. The U.S. is really like 50 different countries each with their own governments, rules, and religious preferences.

Hello Dawn Marie!😊 Tom Hanks was only cast in comedy movies at the beginning of his career. He started out starring in a TV sitcom. It varies by state in America for a Driver's License or Learner's Permit. In Massachusetts you can drive with a Learner's Permit at 16 years old. But, you must have an adult in the car, and you can't drive late at night. Yep, missing kids used to be on milk cartons. Yeah, those mini corn on the cobs are just weird. Great reactions to one of Tom Hank's best comedies, Dawn!!!!🎬👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I saw Big in the Cinema when i was 8 and it was my favourite Movie for a long, long time. I still watch it now and again. I used to think it would be so cool to be a grown up, now id give anything to be 8 again! Lol

I always wonder, when Josh grew into a young man naturally, if his mom ever looked at him and said, "Hang on a sec...he looks EXACTLY like the guy who kidnapped my son!" Similarly, I've thought about Marty McFly's parents after Marty grew up, thinking, "Gee, he sure looks EXACTLY like the kid who helped get us together back at that High School dance!"

Classic Tom Hanks movie. This is one of my favorite movies of his.
