Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
When Marshall brings Hanks and Perkins together, she discovers a grace and lightness in their relationship that transcends the pinched thematics of the script.
– Dave Kehr,
Chicago Tribune,

fresh:
Big, which has been directed by Penny Marshall with verve and impeccable judgment, drops a child's innocence into the corporate rat race as if it were a depth charge.
– Kevin Thomas,
Los Angeles Times,

fresh:
This setup isn't exactly what you'd call plausible, but the follow-through is consistent and clever.
– Jay Boyar,
Orlando Sentinel,

fresh:
Penny Marshall brings a logic to the premise that is sustained through most of the movie. And where the other movies snickered at the sexual possibilities in the idea, she faces up to them with both candor and taste.

A delightful comedy-fantasy.
