adolescent turns Into a grownup overnight genre of movie Big is also the best with Tom Hanks turning In delightful per formance as the 13yearold 30- yearold who has his wishes granted much to his horror I hope that with this version this severely overwork plot can be laid Id rest once and for all Thats my with Josh Is a 12 yearold from a lower middle class family who lives In New Jersey and shares his bedroom with his baby sister Josh is kidnapped by his parents Its not much of a variance but heck It la something The only lesson learned here Is an old one Gee Auntie Em theres no place like home The script Is better and somehow the whole Idea seems more plausible here Elisabeth Perkins as the fascinated coworker girlfriend Is a good actress Mast of all this movie has Tom Hanks Without doubt that Is the main ingredient In Bigs success Hanks is simply charming as Josh and absolutely believable His reaction to Perkins question about his feelings for her la perfect I AT li ii 1 AT THE MOVIES Mi I I 1 on the short side and has a bit of a crush on a rather tall glr One par discouraging evening at a fair Josh makes a wish Into he unplugged Zoltan fortune telling machine and finds himself larger than life the next morning His mom attacks him with a knife His best friend screams blue murder Josh Is In trouble Whats a boy to do Check Into a flophouse hotel In Times Square of course And cry his eyes out In the night However Josh lands on his feet and Into a cushy job with a toy manufacturer He vice- president in charge of Ideas or whatever the official term is and wildly successful Quel prise But never mind you can hardly expect originality at this point in time In his genre The rest is pretty predictable Josh attracts a woman comes up with great Ideas shows up the cor porate climbers He Is you guessed It a breath of fresh air in a stodgy business world The New York business men must be getting sick of having their lives and work trashed like this Id be ticked off 1 Why does this movie work If it Is all so familiar For one thing Josh doesnt take his fathers Identity Josh Is presumed Like any 13yearold he has a birth day during the movie he Aw come on And hits her with a comic book What else would he do On the loose at the famed Schwartz toy store be has a marvellous time all those toys and he has Just earned his first paycheck Where else would ho go If you like Hanks you should really enjoy this film film was Like Father Like Son was made not to mention the other clones It was a risky decision to finish It and sell it but I think hat Hanks redeems the whole thing You wont be rolling In the aisles out you will chuckle a lot and you wont feel cheated Besides theres the air conditioning On a degree day thats worth its weight In popcorn
