Written by Gary Ross and Anne Spielberg, sister to Steven, Big is one of those comedies about aging that doesn’t really seem to age. It’s one of those rare films that kids can enjoy as much as adults. A light truffle of a movie that still somehow manages to touch on something poignant about humanity. One of those comedies that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but is all the more effective for it.
Big is one of those films that takes you right back to the age you were when you first saw it.
