Ratings and reviews

This is the story of a young man, whose bizarre and undiagnosed growing disorder becomes a burden to his family and friends. As his lumbering size begins to test the capacity of furniture and friends, the viewer has to ask themselves if there is truly such a thing as having a heart too big. It turns out, yes, there is such a thing as the main character dies from a massive heart attack in the third act. Staring Tam Honks and Robert Loggia (in his breakout role), Big is small on cost (cause it is free today) but BIG on laughs. 4/5 stars, would recommend to friends, family and work colleagues.

A wonderful film that I enjoyed as much as an adult as I did as a child - how ironic! Tom Hanks, as always, is superb.

Excellent movie for back in the day, And to watch it again is just awesome.... Not only that! Google play gave it to us for free!!!!! THANKS GOOGLE PLAY :-)
