Ratings and reviews

'Big' is one of those enduring classics that define a specific era in cinema history. The concept of the movie is relatively simple; a preteen boy makes a wish to be a man one day and it is granted, hilarity ensues but there could be no more perfect choice for the role of the protagonist than Tom Hanks. Hanks' natural boyish energy and his eye for the quirky characteristics, even down to the facial expressions of a young boy, though you may miss the first time or two you watch the film absolutely make the film for me. Chopsticks!

I remember watching this when I was younger, classic show. I don't remember hearing the f-word then, so you can see why I was surprised when I heard the f-word in this "pg" rated movie. Totally spoiled the classic feel I once had for this movie. Very disappointing.

This is disappointing. Free movie, but you have to give a payment method. What about those of us who don't have a credit card? And don't see the point in PAYING for a Google play gift card to get what is supposed to be a FREE movie? Smh.
