- At a carnival, young Josh Baskin (Tom Hanks) wishes he was big - only to awake the next morning and discover he is! With the help of his friend Billy (Jared Rushton), Josh lands a job at a toy company.

Family classic - Big review by CP Customer
One of my all time favourite family films, with a brilliant performance by Tom Hanks. Great fun for adults, as you giggle at what Hanks' character gets away with as a result of his naivety.

Wonderful - Big review by JD
There are a lot of insights and wonderful observations of childhood in Tom Hanks' portrayal of this 13 year old boy. His acting is amazing. Some of the other actors lag behind a bit. Overall a great film for anyone but aimed at families.
